We pride ourselves on being able to do just about anything to any bike. Between us we have decades of bike mechanic experience. So you can be confident your bike is being looked after by highly experienced, qualified mechanics. We work quickly and fairly, making sure that you are charged for what you need and nothing more. We will also give you tips on looking after your bike so that you need our mechanics less!
We offer clearly priced workshop services that are great value and of a high technically standard. Each new bike is built with care and attention so that you take away a safe and sound machine.
We offer:
- Free six week safety check and service to ensure a new bike is bedded in and running correctly
- MOTs for older bicycles – an honest assessment of the viability of repairing an older bike
- Full suspension services and rebuilds on mountain bikes (MTBs).
- Custom wheel building
- Custom bike builds
- Frame and group set swaps as your bike and riding evolves.
- Puncture repairs while you wait or within the hour (this may not always be possible at peak times)
- Fit of accessories to either new bikes or ones you bring in for service: racks, mudguards, new bar tape, pedals, etc.
Booking in
We operate a booking system at all times to avoid you bringing your bike in when there is a big queue. Call the workshop on 0121 745 2618 to arrange a convenient time for drop off. We advise that you plan your servicing well in advance… don’t wait until the day before your holiday! The winter wait for the workshop is always shorter, so aim to come in when we are quieter. All pricing is available on request, but see summary guide below.

Please note: we are unable to fit parts and bits purchased on the internet. The reason for this is that warranty, public liability and insurance lies with us as the professionals last involved with the maintenance of your bike. When using our workshop services, our pricing of parts and accessories includes that warranty, insurance, peace of mind and professional back-up – unfortunately we can’t afford to give it away as the liability will remain with us.
