WORKSHOP
The shop has a fully equipped SHIMANO accredited and
ROCKSHOX qualified workshop. We have qualified mechanics (still a rarity in the cycle industry) who have City&Guilds cycle mechanics qualifications and have taken Rockshox training courses. Mechanics will soon also be qualified to the stringent
CYTEC advanced level required for Shimano Service Centre status.
Details of the benefits of using SHIMANO and ROCKSHOX service centres in the relevant sections.
Our workshop has 3 permanent workstands and all those strange workshop only tools that can rescue otherwise dead bikes.
Bikes, like most mechanical items need periodic servicing to keep them running sweetly. As many of the parts are open to the elements and subject to high levels of mechanical abuse, servicing should be carried out at regular intervals. We have three levels of service depending on your requirements and budget! We can also sort out problems individually on your bike as and when required such as wheel truing or gear/brake adjustments.
This is identical to the Pre Delivery Inspection that we carry out an all new bikes sold.
Equivalent to an M.O.T. Service on your car, we check that all important safety items are working to a minimum standard.
Where rectification is outside the scope of this service we will advise of any remedial work required.
Well used bikes require a safety service every 2-3 months.
Interim Service
This is similar to a 6000 mile service for your car.
In addition to the safety items covered above it also includes the items marked ### below.
Well used bikes require an interim service every 6 months.
Overhaul Service
This is similar to a 12000 mile service for your car.
When you require your well used (but serviceable!) bike to work as good as new, then treat it to the full monty and ask us to perform the overhaul service.
In addition to the interim service items covered above it also includes the items marked *** below.
