Can anyone recommend a decent LBS in Wigan? Given up on bleeding my XT's but not sure where to take the bike. Is Winstanleys good for servicing etc...?

Merlin in Chorley are the obvious alternative. What problem are you having with the XT bleed?

Yeah winstanleys are good but they can get pretty busy leading to slow turnaround on workshop jobs

Thanks everyone. I've tried to bleed them 3 times using the Epic Bleeds guide but I have to pull the lever twice for it to work, if I just pull it then it doesn't seem to push the pistons far enough to engage. Sometimes it will but sometimes it won't, I have to pre-pull the brake to be sure its going to work.

Winstanleys is closest so I may give them a call first. Not heard of Golborne cycles, look good to.
