Pricing
Prices up front
Transparent pricing: you see the price before you book.
Schist Cycle Works is a premium mountain bike repair and servicing workshop in Queenstown, New Zealand. Mountain bike repair and mountain bike servicing are priced the same way: you choose the work, you see what it costs, then you decide. No phoning around, no surprise at the counter when you collect your bike.
Service levels
Three levels of mountain bike servicing, from a regular tune to a full rebuild. Pick the one that matches how hard you have been riding.
Essential Service
The regular check and tune that keeps your bike shifting, stopping and rolling the way it should.
- Gear tuning
- Brake check and adjustment
- Wheel truing
- Bolts checked and set, bike cleaned
Best for: keeping a well-ridden bike in good order between bigger services.
Performance Service
A deeper service for riders who are out most weekends, with closer attention to brakes, drivetrain and suspension.
- Everything in the Essential Service
- Brake service
- Drivetrain cleaned, checked for wear and adjusted
- Suspension checked and set up for your riding
- Dropper post checked
Best for: regular weekend riders who want the bike feeling sharp on Queenstown's trails.
Complete Overhaul
The bike stripped down, cleaned, checked and rebuilt, for the end of a big season or the start of a new one.
- Everything in the Performance Service
- Full strip-down and clean
- Bearing replacement where needed
- Pivot servicing
- Cable and hose routing
Best for: a bike that has done a hard season and deserves to start the next one fresh.
The price for each level is shown when you choose it on the booking form, before you book.
Repairs, priced first
Not every job fits a service level. Crash damage, a wheel build, tubeless setup or a drivetrain that has given up all need a look before anyone can price them properly.
Tell us what your bike needs when you book. Once it is on the stand, we check it over and tell you what the repair involves and what it will cost. Work starts when you say yes, so you always know the price before we pick up a tool.
If we find something else while your bike is in for a service, we tell you first and you decide whether to go ahead.
