Bicycle Repairs, Servicing and Custom Builds
Servicing
To book call:
0845 257 0808
While many of our customers delight in spending a weekend diligently tweaking, overhauling or repairing their bicycles, many riders do not have the time, the tools or the inclination to do it themselves. If this sounds like you, why not pop your bike into the shop for a free safety checkover so we can discuss your service requirements.
To simplify your choices, we have created a Service Menu to help you select the most appropriate type of overhaul.
If your needs are more specific there is a full list of prices here or please ask for a quote. We are happy to do any repair, be it replacing an inner tube on the spot (the £6 price excludes the cost of a new tube), building a new set of wheels, or overhauling your suspension forks.
Free safety check-over and estimate:
before carrying out any repair.
Any bike:
We will repair any type of cycle regardless of where you bought it.
Handbuilt wheels:
Any hub & rim combination, and any spoking pattern. If it can be built we will build it.
Fast Repairs:
If you book the repair in advance, and bring the bike into the shop before 12.00 noon, we can usually have the job completed that same evening.
If you just need some advice on how to make your bike work safer and better, just pop in and discuss your requirements. Advice is free.
Prices current as of January 2013
Basic Service - £35 Excluding Parts
Includes:
- Checking and adjusting gears
- Checking and adjusting brakes
- Checking and inflating tyres
The Basic Service is the mechanical equivalent of a doctor's medical. If you don't use your bike a great deal, the Basic Service is all you might require, so you will gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your gears change smoothly, and that your brakes work fine. The mechanic will not undertake any investigative work at the Basic Service. He will however, highlight any obvious problems that would fall outwith the scope of the Basic Service when he checks the bike over with you. We will also advise you if any parts need replaced. Naturally, the price of any new parts fitted will be added on to the price of the Basic Service.
Standard Service - £50 Excluding Parts
Includes:
- Checking and adjusting gears
- Checking and adjusting brakes
- Checking and inflating tyres
- Checking and adjusting all bearings
- Checking and tightening all nuts and bolts
- Full road test
- 6 month guarantee on work done
The Standard Service is the mechanical equivalent to a two week visit to a health farm. For the average user, we recommend this comprehensive service where we check over the whole bicycle. The Standard Service comes with a six month warranty on the work carried out, and a one year warranty on new parts fitted. Again, any new parts required will be highlighted by the mechanic when the bicycle is received, but are not included in the price.
Deluxe Service - £90 Excluding Parts
Includes:
- Checking and adjusting gears
- Checking and adjusting brakes
- Checking and inflating tyres
- Stripping and regreasing all serviceable bearings
- Truing wheels
- Checking and tightening all nuts and bolts
- Full road test
- 6 month guarantee on work done
The Deluxe Service is the mechanical equivalent of being reborn. If you ride every day, we recommend that you treat your bike to an annual Deluxe Service. Similarly, if maintenance has been minimal over the years, a Deluxe Service will make the bike ride like new again. All parts of the bicycle are overhauled, new brake and gear cables are fitted, and all serviceable bearings are stripped, re-greased and new balls fitted. The Deluxe Service comes with a 6 month guarantee on the work carried out, and a one year warranty on new parts fitted. Again, the cost of any new parts required (including your choice of cables and bearings) will be highlighted by the mechanic when the bicycle is received, but these are not included in the price.
