Servicing
Regular care that keeps a hard-ridden bike working the way it was built to.

- Suspension serviceForks and shocks cleaned, inspected and refreshed so they feel supple and controlled again.
- Brake servicePads, rotors and lever feel checked, with bleeds and adjustments for consistent stopping on long descents.
- Pivot servicingSuspension pivots cleaned, checked and set to spec, so the rear end moves freely without play.
- Bearing replacementWorn hub, headset, bottom bracket or frame bearings swapped out to stop the grinding and the knocks.
- Gear tuningDerailleur and cable tension set so every gear changes cleanly, up and down the cassette.
Repairs
When something breaks, wears out or takes a hit, we find the cause and fix it properly.
