Bicycle Servicing

Bicycle Repairs and Servicing

Most popular jobs are: Rear hub services, fork services, general services and e bike services.

Don’t forget that an e-bike chain can wear out in 500km, up to 3 times as fast as a pedal only bike. It depends on the way you ride. A new chain and cassette is usually around £200.

Also popular are bike upgrades/rebuilds and wheel repairs or tubeless set up.

The 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 be replaced.
Sourcing non standard repair parts without the back up shop staff 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 dog faeces will not be worked on.

E bikes must be collected the same day of service.

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