E-BIKE SERVICING
We are experts in Shimano, Bosch, Fazua and eBike Motion systems, we can carry out all fimware updates and fault checks to keep your bike working in top condition.
eBike conversion kits
Management has taken the decision that we no longer work, endorse or recommend ebike conversion kits to non-purpose built electric bikes. Non-electric bikes are not built for the stresses and strains of adding an electric motor and battery.
Please note that carrying out this conversion also voids all manufacturer’s warranty.

e-Cargo Service

Please note any parts required for the above services are on top of the labour charge. Please ensure all bikes are delivered to us in a clean condition prior to servicing otherwise a cleaning fee will be applied.
EXPERTS FROM FORK TO FREEHUB
Custom Builds
With our passion and knowledge of all aspects of cycling, we can not only help with the specifications of your dream bike but can also undertake any custom build project you have in mind.
Let us help make your dreams come true.
Wheel Building
Fork and Shock Servicing
We are trained to service Rockshox and Fox forks in house, either a lower service or full strip down. We highly recommend forks to be serviced once a year so as they remain in good working order and stop the upper stanchion surface degrading due to grit build up in the seals. Labour costs start from £30 per shock/fork plus parts on top.
