Bike Servicing in Bristol

Before we get in to the detailed stuff, here's some general bits of useful information...

Our standard hourly labour charge is £40 per hour.

Our minimum labour charge is £10 (generally for a drop in session).

All prices listed below do not include parts.

We can source pretty much all bike parts, so whether you need new inner tubes or new forks, we can usually help.

Details of what is included in each service is outlined below and will be carried out if they are required.

We would advise that the following are done / checked roughly every 100 miles:

Chain wear (chains will wear and if not looked after / replaced in time, will mean other components may need replacing)
Cleaning of chain to ensure efficient gear shifting and to prolong the life of parts
Inspection of brake pads and tyres for wear
Check for play in bearings (headset, hubs and bottom bracket)

For high end / full suspension MTBs, please see our specific MTB price list.

Service List

Service Packages

The services outlined below are guidelines. Some bikes are quicker to work on than others, so we adjust accordingly. If you just require targeted servicing of certain aspects of your bike see the section below.

Basic Tune Up

£35

This is a quick and easy service to get your bike running as well as it can without going in to any real depth. This would include the following...

A frame, rim, tyre and bearings check
A gear and brake service
A light wheel true
Pumping up tyres

Ideal for: A interim service if a more detailed service has recently been carried out and you'd like the essentials fine tuning. Or if you're dusting your bike off and bringing out of storage.

Basic Tune Up & Drivetrain Clean / Wash

£60 - £75

This is the same as our Basic Tune up Service but will include a drivetrain clean and/or wash of your bike, whichever you prefer.

Ideal for: Bikes with filthy drivetrain parts (chain, cassette, derailleur), bikes that are generally dirty, and for those who just like things looking good. Great for a pre or post winter clean.

Tune Up Plus+

£35 Upwards

This is the same as our Basic Tune Up, but in addition, you are happy for us to use our expertise to carry out what's necessary should we find any other issues. For example, if your bottom bracket needs replacing / servicing, we will carry this out and add on the cost. We would of course call you should there be an extensive list of things to do.

Ideal for: Similar to those wanting a Basic Tune Up but that also want to ensure that any other issues are dealt with. Popular with commuters.

Tune Up Plus+ and Drivetrain Clean / Wash

£60 - £75 Upwards

This is the same as our Tune Up Plus+ but includes a drivetrain clean and / or wash of your bike

Ideal for: Bikes with filthy drivetrain parts (chain, cassette, derailleur), bikes that are generally dirty, and for those who just like things looking good. Great for a pre or post winter clean.

Go on, your bike deserves it!

Full Service - Standard (Not for Full Suspension)

£110

Strip it, clean it, rebuild it. We will generally replace the brake and gear wires. All bearings will be checked and replaced or serviced as required (freewheel, disc brake bleeding or caliper servicing may incur extra costs).

Ideal for: Any bike that is used regularly and hasn't had a full service in at least a year.

Full Service - Road Bike Detailed

upto £150

Same as our Standard Full Service, but the difference is the level of detail we go in to (like servicing of brake callipers).

Always worth doing at least every 2 years. This service gives the same aesthetic result of the supervalet, but with servicing of parts on top.

We pay for any wires, but if casing needs replacing you will need to add that to the price.

Ideal for: All Roadies who love their bike

Mountain Bike Servicing

Because there are a lot of different aspects of modern mountain bike maintenance and riders tend to send their bikes or components in for specific work we don't have a service package for these. For things like droppers, suspension, bearings, hydraulics etc speak to Dan. It's his thing.

Bike Washing/cleaning

We clean your bikes for you! With the exception of the top level, the prices do not include any servicing other than a quick tuneup and safety check on reassembly.

Basic clean

£20

Quick wash if you just want the worst off. Sometimes this won't cut it if the bike is really greasy. We will tell you if this is the case.

This is particularly suitable if you've taken your bike out in the rain or mud.

Drivetrain clean

£25

The drivetrain is cleaned in our shop parts wash.

General Clean

£40

Basically a general clean of your bike to include a basic clean and a drivetrain clean. Your bike will be shiny!

Super Valet

£100

This is essentailly a bike strip and rebuild. We will generally cut the cables for speed so will replace these at our cost.

This service will leave the corners of your bike shiny (the more observant cyclists will notice)

Bench Hire & Tuition

Want to do your own work on your bike?

Bench Hire

£10 per hour

If you know what you are doing but just want a better environment than your back garden or garage, or need access to tools you don't have, you can just come in and do it yourself. This option does allow for some assistance from a mechanic (upto 10 mins free). If you get really stuck, out time works out at £5 per 10 mins on top so you can have targeted tutorials on the bits you are unsure of.

One to one tuition

£30 per hour

This is a popular option. If you need to service your bike, and would pay for it anyway, why not learn to work on your bike at the same time. Some people just like to have a coffee and watch while we talk them through the service as we demonstrate it. Some like to do it all themselves with guidance. Some like to go somewhere in beween to practice the more accessible bits and learn what the insides of their bike looks like. Totally up to you.

Group Sessions

£15 per hour each

If you have a group of friends who all want to have a workshop session, you can book all three benches, and you will have the full attention of a mechanic for structured lessons or general guidance. Why not arrange for a group of friends to come in and sort out their suspension, or hydraulic brakes for example

The above costs are a general guide, but if your bike is time consuming to work on these prices may vary. If you don't collect your bike from us in a timely manner it will not be covered by our insurance and we will charge storage or sell the bike to recover costs.
