Bike Repair & Tune-Ups

Bike tuned up recently or hasn't seen much mileage? The Mini Tune might be for you!

This version of a Tune-Up will adjust all of your moving parts, including the shifting, brakes, headset, bottom bracket and wheels and will lube your drivetrain. However wheel straightening will be done by measuring gaps to the brake pads on the bike, instead of using a precisely calibrated wheel truing stand. We will also omit the bike cleaning. 

We will assist you in deciding whether or not to upgrade your service to a full tune-up by assessing the bike's condition either at drop-off or during the scheduled repair.

Shifting not crisp and your brakes are soft or rubbing? You're probably due for a Full Tune-Up.

So you've either let your bike go for a couple of years, or you're riding it hard and putting it through its paces.

A Full Tune-Up will go through and adjust all of the moving parts of your trusty steed, including your shifting, brakes, headset and bottom bracket. Additionally, we will remove your wheels, adjust the hubs and true (straighten) them in a calibrated workstand. 

We will also hand wash your frame and wheels, inspecting for any potential stress fractures which could compromise their integrity.

Do your shifters not work at all and are your brake levers hard to squeeze or return slowly?

Short of actually replacing components, a Premium Tune-Up will breathe new life into your bicycle. In addition to performing a Full Tune, we will replace all of the cables and housing (additional $20 in parts on average).

The cables are what physically communicate your input from the handlebars down to the front and rear derailleurs and brakes. Once the steel cables develop corrosion, they no longer slide smoothly and cause enough friction to prohibit even the best mechanic from adjusting your drivetrain properly.
