We are here at 58 Clyde Street, in Whangarei New Zealand. Catering for all your cycling needs. Owned and operated by Brent Love, I have been in the cycling industry since 1996. As an enthusiast, I trained at Barnetts Bicycle Institute, in Colorado USA, completing the Advanced Mechanical module. This Qualification started me on the path of mechanical inquiry, to further my interest in the efficient workings of the modern bicycle. Suspension, wheel building, disc brakes, carbon and steel, the workings of the bike intrigue my curiosity, to strive and offer the best service to every customer.
Hi Doug,
I haven’t received an email from you previously. Can you be more precise on what you are after?

Missing Link Cycles is one of the best bike stores I’ve ever been to, not only is Brent extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but he is without a doubt the best bike mechanic I’ve ever met.
There is a great vibe in store, that makes you just want to go and ride as soon as you walk out.
Can’t rate the store high enough!

Hi Brent.
With regards to the speedo it seemed to work perfectly on my way home today so hopefully it has come right.

Open from 9am till 1.30pm
There are too few bike shops left that are driven by a passionate Mtber and that person is still on the tools, advising and selling you the right bike to best suit you. Brent is one of those crazy people left that I have ridden with and known for quite a long time now. He will wear your ears off talking about trails and developments in cycling. Whangarei (my home town) is so lucky to have this independent bike shop. Thx Brent. Be back soon.
Hi Shane, thanks for the kind words. Yes I rather enjoy riding the trails and anything really. Can’t wait to show you some new and improved riding when we see you.

I would like to modernize my Gravel bike.
Currently it runs a 3 x 9.
11 to 34 cassette and 50 – 39 front with a 30 tooth low gear.
I want to make the bike a better climber ( as I get older)
Is it drop a couple of teeth off the 30 tooth down to 26
And go to a 10 or 11 ring cassette, say 11 – 42 or 12 – 46
I’m guessing that it will entail new derailleur on the back, and new shifter to suit.
Ideally, I’d like to change out the Sora triple front derailleur too.
Brakes are good, rims fine,
I need assistance from you guys I have no idea as to Shimano compatiblity, and what as even available
Possibly, I could go to a 2 x 12 set up …would this nessecitate a new front crank?
The bike runs 700c wheels
As a recreational rider, Deore level of components will be good.
The front Sora derailleur is a 63-66° chain stay angle( what ever that means)
I’m currently out of the country, and would like to get an indication of whether what I’m trying to achieve…..is actually achievable!
Hear from ya
Kind regards

Hi, This all depends on frame and is it compatible with the components that will be fitted. Sometimes it is more efficient to buy a new bike. Thanks
