Repairs, Servicing & Invisiframe

Don’t forget that an e-bike chain can wear out in 500km, up to 3 times fsater than a pedal only bike. It depends on the way you ride but a new ebike chain and cassette (if worn) is usually around £200+.

Best money saving tool that you should own is a chain wear checker.

Best bike care tip: wipe your chain down after applying chain lube.

The list below details some working practises and prices.

Sales: I do not do sales other than the parts required for servicing and repairs.

Conditions of service

Visit by appointment only.
Please confirm bookings by e-mail(click this link) It is too confusing tracing messages on Facebook, Instagram and all the other means of communcation. E-mail me with details of the bike and your telephone number. I’ll then mail back all the details.
Parts fitted will be priced at the RRP. I am happy to fit parts supplied. I would normally expect to be bringing the bike back to the condition it was when new so any worn parts will usually be replaced.
Sourcing non standard repair parts can be time consuming so can take a while.
Bikes need to be reasonably clean. This includes the drive chain. Derailleurs thick with tar like dirt add time to your job so will cost more to service. Always wipe your chain down after applying lubricant.
Bikes with canine faeces will not be worked on.

E bike batteries will be stored seperately if left over night.

Payments will be by BACS, account details will be on the invoice.
