Bicycle Servicing & Tune-Ups
Keep those wheels spinning safely with regular servicing
Regular servicing for your bike is a must to keep it in safe and working order. We don’t make servicing complicated by having lots of different service types. In reality, your bike either needs a full service, or it needs an interim service, depending on a few different factors (See the FAQ below).
One thing that both our service options include is a full MOT inspection which scans the entire bike thoroughly in order to highlight any dangerous major issues or any minor non-dangerous issues. You get an electronic report with the results right after the mechanic has finished the inspection, allowing you to make decisions on what you want to do with those issues.

- Your bike has had a service within the last 9 months
- Your bike (regardless of age) has had very low mileage (below 500 miles)

- Your bike has not been serviced in over 9 months
- Your bike has lots of use year-round in all weathers
- your bike is used as a commuter bike and often left outside (even under a cover)
We can supply the parts, or you can.
The mobile workshop van holds a huge range of basic spares including brake pads, bearings, chains, cassettes, etc. If something is not available on the van right away then we can order it from one of our many suppliers, most of which will have the part with us the next working day.
