We service what you already own, wherever it came from.
Same-week workshop slots.
Usually next day for a puncture or a gear index.

To order · 3 weeks
Everything can be reserved by phone and paid for in the shop. We do not sell online, on purpose — a bike that has not been set up for you is half a bike.
The workshop
Fixed prices,
on the wall
Standard jobs cost what it says here. If we find something else while it is in the stand, we ring you before touching it — every time, without exception.
Book a slotPuncture or tube
While you wait if the stand is free, which it usually is before eleven.
Gear index & brake adjust
The one most bikes actually need. Cables tensioned, brakes trued, everything checked over.
Full service
Drivetrain stripped and cleaned, bearings checked, wheels trued, everything adjusted and road-tested.
Wheel build
Hand-built, tensioned and stress-relieved. Parts on top; we will price the whole thing before starting.
Electric bike diagnostic
Motor, battery health and wiring checked. Waived if the repair goes ahead with us.

Fitting
A bike that hurts
is the wrong size
Most people who tell us they do not enjoy cycling are riding a bike set up for somebody else. It is nearly always fixable and it nearly always takes half an hour.
Included free with every bike we sell. £45 on a bike you already own, refunded if you buy from us within a month.
-
Tell us what hurts
Hands, neck, knees or backside. Each one points somewhere different, and the answer is rarely a new bike.
-
On the jig, not guesswork
Saddle height and setback, bar reach and drop, cleat position if you use them. Measured and written down.
-
Ride it, then adjust again
Come back after a fortnight and we will fine-tune it. That second session is where most of the comfort actually comes from.

Ask us something
Before you come in
Straight answers
Will you work on a bike you did not sell?
Yes, and about two thirds of the workshop is exactly that. Supermarket bikes included — we will tell you honestly if a repair costs more than the bike is worth, and we would rather say so than take the money.
Do you sell online?
No, deliberately. A bike that has not been set up for the person riding it is half a bike, and boxing one up to post undoes the part we are actually good at. Reserve by phone and collect.
Can I trade in my old bike?
Usually. Bring it in and we will look at it while you wait. Children's bikes bought here come back at half price, no haggling and no receipt needed — we recognise our own bikes.
How long will my bike be with you?
A puncture or a gear index is same day. A full service is two to three days depending on the week, and we will tell you the truth when you book rather than the answer you want.
Do you do finance?
On bikes over £500, and through the cycle-to-work schemes most local employers use. Ask and we will check whether yours is one of them before you commit to anything.
