I Have Immediate Availability for Jobs Big and Small

Does your bicycle require more than just a regular tune-up? To keep your bike happy, we're here. Repairs are frequently much more complex than adjustments, even though they may be a straightforward fix. If parts are accessible, we will try to complete minor repairs while you wait and the same day. 
​
It can be stressful to learn that your bike needs repair. You may need to determine what caused it or how much it will cost.
Most prices are listed on my website to assist you in understanding how much the labor costs. Years of receiving phone calls from customers with difficulty describing their bikes or issues gave us the idea. That forces us to speculate, which instills minimal trust in you.
Talking about it over the phone in this manner is true. Remember to bring your bike in for a thorough inspection to receive a more accurate estimate.
By coming in person, we can determine any issues. If you agree, we are obliged to you to have us perform the work, but we will look into the cost of the components and labor.

Tire Pressure
​​Flat tires are frustrating. Nobody likes them. While there are things you can do to reduce the likelihood of flats, there's nothing you can do to prevent it entirely. Your first strategy should always be to make sure you are riding with the proper tire pressure. Each tire has a preferred air-pressure range, which is in psi (pounds per square inch). Look on the tire sidewall for the recommended pressure. As a general rule:
  • Road tires should run between 100 and up to 140 psi.
  • Mountain bike tires should run between 30 and up to 50 psi.
  • Urban and casual bike tire should run between 60 and up to 80 psi.
​​The inflation pressure of the inner tubes is essential to improve the comfort and durability of the material. A complete inspection of the tire is necessary. There will often be minor sharp metals going through the tire thread and leaving a slight snakebite sting, requiring a small patch inside the tire. Under-inflation can lead to problems with" pinch flats "that may occur when you hit a bump, possibly causing between 1- 2 small holes that resemble a snake bite. On the other hand, over-inflation does not cause flats, although it's possible to blow out the tube in extreme cases. 
Tubeless tire
At minimum, you should replace the sealant every 3-6 months or so. A good tubeless setup will stay inflated well beyond that time, as the latex in the sealant has already sealed any small holes. However, the sealant does dry over time, so the systems' ability to self-repair when you run over a thorn or sharp rock is greatly reduced. There is no need to clean and remove the old sealant. However, some brands tend to leave clumps that you can pick out. However, is best to remove the tire and remove the old sealant and clumps.  If your valve cores are removable, the easiest way to add sealant is through the valve. Otherwise, you'll have to break the tire bead off the rim (just a small section) to add sealant. This can sometimes take a few tries to get sealed again (helpful to have a compressor or large CO2 cartridge to "slam" the tire into the rim).​
​
How can I stop a tubeless tire from leaking?
It can be devastating to see tubeless tires start to leak. Or even worse, what if you spring a leak while riding on the trail? Unfortunately, leaks are a common issue when you run tubeless tires. On the road to maintaining tubeless tires, you will also learn how to manage leaks. Since there are few places for the sealant to escape, you will run into two types of leaks. I will list them here, with a summary of how to stop a tubeless tire from leaking.
  1. Leaking through the Spokes/Valve – Although this can be an annoying issue, air leaking through the spokes is just a sign that the rim tape may be needed to be replaced. Do not be an alarm, as the sealant usually fills the holes and plugs the leak. Worst-case scenario, you will have to remove the tire and sealant to re-apply the rim tape.
  2. Leaking through the bead – This is the most common leak experienced by those running tubeless tires, and it is straightforward to treat. To seal a tire leaking at the bead, make sure there are no obstructions between the rim and tire bead, then inspect the tire to make sure the bead is fully seated. If you are still getting leaks, you may need to lower the air pressure in the tire. Sometimes, high air pressure can prevent sealant from drying enough to seal any gaps.

Wheel Truing
Picture



  • $15 for minor to moderate Truing
  • $25 for significant Truing
  • $10 re-tensioning or spoke replacement Truing a disc brake rotor (minor adjustment)
Examples
​​Spokes in your wheels can lose their tension over time and can cause them to lose their structural integrity or even go crooked. I recommend inspecting the spoke's tension before riding the bike. 

 Minor Frame Repairs​
  • Adjust/ Align/ Install Derailluer Hanger $15 
  • Repair bent steel hanger $15
  • Minor align attached rear hanger dropout $10
  • Minor align steel rear drops or align front fork drops $10
Examples

Wheel Hub Bearings and Axle Service
​The cost of completing the work is $30.It is possible for the hub bearings on a bicycle wheel to become out of tune over time, causing the wheel to wobble. The wheel can also be out of true if the rim can be moved laterally in the fork by hand. Additionally, road grime and wetness seep into ball bearings, resulting in jerky operation and premature wear. Even if none of these problems occur, it will ultimately be necessary to change the ball-bearing grease to preserve the life and health of the hubs. Hub overhauls are a solution to these issues. The fundamental procedures are the same as those for maintaining other ball-bearing components.
Examples

Drivetrain Clean Service Remove and Install

Examples
The cost of the work is $30. One of the most frequent bike maintenance advice you'll hear is to keep the drivetrain cleaned and lubricated. Most people are competent at performing the basics. The fundamentals are cleaning if you still need to determine where to begin with lubrication. This operation will use tools and procedures to clean and lubricate the chain, crankset, cassette, and other attached components, such as derailleurs and pedals. It is ideal for performing quick maintenance in the early and mid-season. Sometimes cleaning your moving parts may require a deeper cleaning. This service removes all moving parts and cleans them spotlessly. This technique is far more effective than cleaning parts on the bike.

EXAMPLES
Bottom Bracket Remove and Install 
The cost of the work is $30. Most average bikes and parts are not included; bottom brackets come in different sizes depending on your bike you have. ​If it is only a minor adjustment, the labor cost is only $10.
EXAMPLES

Bmx - Beach Cruiser One Piece Crank Bearings
The labor charge is $30 most average bikes and parts are not included; bottom brackets come in different sizes depending on your bike you have. If it is only a minor adjustment, the labor cost is only $10.

Headset inspection - Remove and Install Service 

The cost of the work is $30. Average bikes - Classics and Modern bikes. Parts are not included, bearings come in different sizes depending on your bike. If it is only a minor adjustment, the labor cost is only $10.

Bicycle Assembly
Why should I hire a pro to assemble my bicycle?

Allowing a professional to assemble your bike saves time and frees you from the hassle of interpreting unclear assembly instructions or keeping track of stray parts and hardware. The right tools and experience will enable the pro to do the assembly quickly, correctly, and safely.​

​If you are buying your new or pre-owned online box bike, let's build your bike. It can take 30-90 minutes if you are dropping off a boxed bike. You don't need to set up an appointment.
​Assembly fee for a new or used, bike starts from $30- $100 Additional fees apply for tubeless tires, internal cable routing and "dropper" style seat posts, fenders, rear or front baskets, rear or front carrier rack, lights. ​
