Guaranteed repairs
Two important things differentiate our service shop from others.
|
Minimum labor charge
We have a $5.00 minimum labor charge. This means any work we perform on your bike will cost at least $5.00. Maintenance and repair procedures that often fall into this category are: -Inflating your tires -Adjusting your saddle or handlebar position -Lubricating your chain -Removing or installing a small accessory Why? -Our business exchanges goods and services for money. Most people are familiar with this commercial model. -Our experience, knowledge, tools, and supplies are useful, reliable, and valuable. -We are implicitly ensuring our work is of professional quality. We don't do slapdash patch jobs to get rid of you. -We are implicitly ensuring your bike is safe to use once we've worked on it. $5.00 buys you a lot at our shop. Bikes purchased from us get free basic adjustments for one year. There is a high quality air pump available for your use inside the shop. We will show you how to use it, if need be. |
Common Repairs
We offer comprehensive repair services, from basic flat tire repair to complete overhauls. Click for detailed info.
Every bike gets used differently from the next, and parts wear out in ways specific to your bike and the way you ride. We will assess these unique issues, explain them, and generate an estimate that makes sense to you. Though we do require that you bring your bike to the shop for an accurate assessment and estimate, the cost of the following basic à la carte services usually falls into these price ranges. Flat tire repair: $26 for most bikes: new inner tube included and installed; inspection of rim, rim tape, and tire. Labor for installing new tape/rim strip/tire included. Assessing cause of flat included. Brake adjustment: $10-$25 Derailleur adjustment: $10-$25 Conventional bearing adjustment (hub, bottom bracket, or headset): $10-$30 Wheel truing: $15-$30 Cable replacement and adjustment: $25-$35 Installation of racks or fenders: $25 and up |
