Diagnosed properly, priced upfront

A lot of bike problems have more than one possible cause. A skipping chain might be a worn chain, a worn cassette, a bent hanger or a sticky cable. We find the real cause, so you don't pay for parts you didn't need.

Before we start, we'll explain what we've found and agree the price with you. If we find anything else while we're working, we'll contact you first. We'll never add work without asking.
