Notes:
Estimates before seeing bike:
This can be very difficult, as it has a lot to do with the quality and age of the bike and also with how its been used and maintained in the past!
For first encounter, if your unsure, I will always suggest starting with the MOT and if we find the bike needs more on the day, we can work it out.
So, listed here is an example of services provided purely as a guideline.
The cost therefore could be less or more than stated.
You will always be consulted before any extra work is carried out.
* Parts not included in prices

Cargo bikes:
Due to delivering my service by bicycle, I can only offer the MOT and TLC services for cargo bikes and unable to do the Full Works.
~
I will always suggest using a manufacturers official service point in-between basic services; about once a year, to ensure all major structural aspects of your cargo bike are correctly checked for safety.
~
Cost for servicing cargo bikes will tend to be more than the listed estimates, due to size and complexity compared to a standard bicycle.
~
E-Bikes:
Due to insurance complications, work carried out on E-bikes, cannot be covered for any failures.
It relates mainly to the problems with batteries catching fire in-shop and with illegal custom builds, but for a small business and mine being slightly unusual in being mobile, there is no easy way for them to provide me cover for anything related to e-bikes.
I will add, that most times any issue with electronics and e-motors will normally mean a need for replacement anyhow; as there's no basic 'serviceable' parts involved except maybe firmware updates. I can however recommend you to an e-motor service centre if you require.
But saying this, I would still be happy to help you with servicing all the 'non-electric' aspects of your e-bike, but will need you to acknowledge that any attempts at legal or non legal claims against me, due to any failures to the electrical components should they occur, will not be covered and I will not be held liable.
Apologies for the need of this caveat.
MOT Service - £40.00*
The basic foundation service option - For bike health check tune up and drivetrain clean.
What's entailed-
All nuts and bolts are checked for security: The operation of the brakes, bottom bracket, headset, gears, wheels, pedals, etc. are all checked for safety and wear. Nuts and bolts tightened and basic adjustments made; brake pads and cables fitted.
The structural condition of the frame is also checked over, basic chain clean and oiled and tyres inflated to correct pressures.
TLC Service - £70.00*
The standard full service option - Good service for when new parts are needed.
What's entailed-
Includes all of the MOT service above; plus -
Brake system is fully serviced (NB. For hydraulic brakes see below); wheel spoke tensions checked, 'trued' and tensioned if needed; Bottom bracket, hubs and headset bearings assessed and replaced and serviced if necessary*; stem and seat post greased to prevent seizure; new components fitted*.
N.B.
If your bike is in a super grubby state, really greasy chain and gears,etc. it may make more sense to bring it to me for a workshop service. But please contact to discuss if unsure.
Full Works - £150.00*
(Not available for cargo bikes)
This is a full strip down and re-build of your bike - Good for when groupsets or multiple major parts need fitting, for modifications; for maintaining a long life for your ride.
What's entailed-
This entails all of the services involved in the MOT and TLC, including full strip down and rebuild of your bicycle, ensuring its longevity and feeling and looking as good as new. Includes a frame polish as well if not matt :)

- Front or standard single speed or dérailleur rear wheels - £28.00
- Bikes with fully encased chains and cargo bikes - £38.00-£43.00

NB:
I will often endeavour to fix the puncture with a patch if the hole is small and also from an eco friendly approach.
But happy to fit a tube if you'd prefer.
I'm afraid I cannot offer emergency puncture repairs. These will have to be booked in like all other services.

Need Parts!?
I'm not a shop for parts and so only stock the basics needed for services; pads, cables, tubes, chains, etc.
But for tyres, saddles, mudguards; more personal choice items and non common parts, these will need to be ordered in.
