Servicing
We offer everything from basic puncture repairs through to complete strip and rebuilds on road, mountain, hybrid, folding, commuter, cargo or e-bikes, as well as building wheels, complete bikes and custom modifications. There are a couple things we don’t currently do (fork servicing being one) – if in doubt, please call and ask.
Post-Covid-19, we request ALL bookings be made in advance …our Covid-19 and other policies can be found here. Please do read these before booking in for everyone’s wellbeing. A short pdf highlighting labour values for servicing can be found here and yes, we welcome and accept the Fix It vouchers (where maintenance needs meet eligibility requirements – please see voucher terms 1.3.3).

Reconditioned & Bespoke Bicycles
We often have a range of reconditioned bicycles for sale and are able to custom build wheelsets and bikes. If this is of interest, please contact us. If you have had your bike stolen, please contact us too, providing the crime reference number and frame number. Capacity allowing, we will aim to gift you a bike if the police are unable to recover it, or your insurance company unable to replace it.
Workshops
>> ALL IN-HOUSE TRAINING COURSES ARE ON HOLD DUE TO PHYSICAL DISTANCING MEASURES FOR COVID-19 <<
Each workshop course combines theoretical and hands-on practical training and assumes a solid understanding of the content in each preceding course. It is not necessary to complete all courses in order. Please ask if you have any queries BEFORE booking
Please note that we have a ‘three strike’ policy for cancellations, a ‘two strike’ policy for no-shows. Whilst this may sound harsh, places and capacity are limited, courses run on rotation and we hate turning people away when space and resources are available
