We offer a free estimate service before we carry out any repairs and maintain contact throughout the repair so you don't have any surprises upon collection.We have an instant tube and tyre replacement service (may change during busy periods, or if I am having a brew). We always use a new inner tube rather than patching an old one because this is more reliable. We have an extensive list of fixed price options available, these include:

BASIC SERVICE £30 (Cable Brake) £35 (hydraulic Brake) This is a full safety check of your bicycle.

How often should i maintain my bicycle?

SERVICE PERIODS We recommend a FULL SERVICE once a year on every bike. If you ride more you might need more than one service a year.

A BASIC SERVICE should always be considered every 6 months or so on a bike that is used and needs to be considered safe and reliable.

If you have premium equipment, a service is recommended more often to keep your bike and its gear in first class condition.
