where are you in Ontario? seeing how its a pretty big ass place knowing where you are might help. If your in Toronto, then you can either check out Cycle Solutions (ask for Terry, i can't remember which one hes at though.) or you could try Morley at McBride Cycle. I dunno if hes still got his tools or not but hes a great mechanic. Hope this helps.

Life always works it self out in the end.

I live in northern ontario, although i do make frequent trips to the toronto area so i guess anywhere between the barrie area down to toronto doesn't matter. Thanks

you think Barrie is northern Ontario? Please consider what you say before you make yourself sound like a retard. Also pretty dumb of you to ask about ONTARIO bike mechanics on NORTH SHORE mountain biking.com. You may want to try Dropmachine.com - Ontario based.

Not sure if he's still there but Tweek at Cycle Solutions (beaches location) is a King Master. I also believe Terry Leimonis is at Trailblazers. Not sure if he's moved to VS in the last year since I left…

Mattj,

I actually live a couple hundreds of kilometers north of Barrie, I know all the bike shops aroudn nothern ontario and they have none of the special tools needed. So i was refering to the shops in the more populated areas which i have no knowledge of. Also there are many Ontarian riders on the board so there is really no harm in asking here.

Thanks for some of the replies though guys.
