Home › Forums › Bike Repair Workshop – Recommendations › Bike repair near Innvik or Skei (Fjord Norway route)
Hi all,
I’m currently following the Fjord Norway route (https://cyclenorway.com/routes/norse-all-road-series/overview/fjord-norway/) southbound, but I encountered a mechanical issue for which I would need to find a bike repair shop. I can still continue riding, but this will probably increase the damage, so would like to find a repair shop close by and along the route if possible.
I’m currently in Innvik and will be passing though Byrkjelo, Skei, Vassenden today and tomorrow.
Any advice on a nearby bike repair possibility?
When searching for “sykkelverksted” on Google Maps, the soonest on-route option would be Sogndal, but that’s still pretty far (I’m doing about 50 km a day).
In Førde there seems to be Sport 1 shop where I could get it fixed as well, but that means a 20km detour.
Does anyone know of another / better option?
Thanks in advance ?
Hi Joren,
Sorry to hear about the mechanical. You are, unfortunately, in a quiet area with limited facilities. It’s unlikely you will come across anything in the said villages you are passing. I believe Førde is your best option when it comes to towns close by. However, first, I recommend you ring Jorn Kenneth Osland (who speaks English) on +47 90167757. He is a bike mechanic based in Naustdal (a little further west of Førde). I’ve been told he is super friendly and helpful, and he might know of someone close to where you are that can help. It’s worth at least talking to him. This is his website: http://www.yourvismawebsite.com/jorn-kenneth-osland/startside
Good luck with everything.
