Services Offered - 2024 pricing
Annual Tuneup - $50
Are you experiencing issues with your bike, such as improper shifting or noisy chains? A tune-up might do the trick. However, if there are underlying problems, I will discuss them with you, and we can plan to fix or replace any damaged, worn-out, or missing components. Here's a quick checklist of things I'll do during a tune-up:
Check tire pressure and inflate to the correct level
Ensure wheels are correctly aligned and tightened
Examine and adjust the brakes
Clean, adjust, and lubricate the drivetrain and derailleurs
Inspect the chain for any signs of wear and lubricate it accordingly
Replacement of worn or broken parts (parts cost extra, of course)
Finally, wipe down the bike to give it a clean finish.
Full Detail - $100
This option includes everything that's offered in the annual tune-up, along with a detailed wheels-off cleaning. The rear sprocket and chain are removed and degreased, while the front chainrings and bottom bracket are removed and thoroughly cleaned.
Extremely dirty bikes, an additional charge of $25 will be added.
Complex frames, like the ones on full-suspension bikes, will cost an extra $25.
I also offer hand waxing and polishing frames at reasonable prices. Feel free to ask for a quote.

About how much does it cost to....
When looking for repair help (for, say, my house), I like to search the internet to know how much it will cost me. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of people out there who have an idea of what it'll cost. Even a ballpark. I get it - so much depends on "it depends." It's hard to pin down a number in the blind, and my shop is no different. But I will do my best anyway - here's an idea of what I charge to do these standard services on a typical bike. Please note that every situation is unique and might cost you more or less. This is to get an idea of the ballpark that I usually see:
Replace Tube/Flat Tire - $15
Sticky Shifting/Braking (replace brake/shift cable) - $10 for each cable
Replace Chain (including the chain) - $20-$30 (economy), $30-50 (performance)
Replace Bottom Bracket - $20-30 plus the bottom bracket part cost ($30-50)
Broken spoke or two (including truing) - $30-40.
Tire/wheel rubbing the brake pad or frame intermittently - $10-30
True a wheel - $20-30
Replace a tire - $10 plus the cost of the tire ($20-70)
Replace brake pads (set) - $20 (economy), $40 (performance)
It is now offering wheel truing! Over time, spokes in a wheel can become loose or stressed, causing them to lose tension. When this happens, longer spokes can affect the balance of the wheel, making it wobble or veer off course. This can lead to an unstable ride and may cause damage to the tire or other parts of the bike. To correct this issue, you may need to have your wheel re-trued.
This is a process that involves adjusting the tension of each spoke to bring the wheel back into balance. The cost of wheel truing can vary depending on the specific needs of your wheel, but generally can cost between $20 and $30.
Tubeless Tire Conversion! Say goodbye to flat tires (well, almost!). If you want to learn about the advantages of going tubeless, let's chat. If your bike is already tubeless compatible but still using inner tubes, converting it is a quick and relatively inexpensive process ($50 or less).
Check out my blog post from October 29, 2022 to read about my personal experience when a tubeless tire saved my ride here (29 October 2022).
