Annual Tuneup - $50
Not shifting correctly? Chain causing noises? Generally, a tune can fix the problem. If its something more than a tune up, I'll discuss the issues with you and we can determine a plan of action to correct components that are worn/broken/missing.
Check tires & inflate to correct psi
Check wheels are straight & tight
Check and adjust brakes
Check, clean, and adjust drivetrain/derailleurs
Check and lubricate chain
Wipe down bike
Full Detail - $100
This option is everything that is offered in the annual tuneup, plus a detailed, wheels-off cleaning. The rear sprocket is removed and completely degreased. Front chainrings and bottom bracket are removed and thoroughly cleaned.
I do have a few additional charges for when things are beyond typical effort.
$25 extra for extremely dirty bikes
$25 extra for complex frames or wheels (often, full suspension bikes)
Beyond full detailing, I also can hand wax and polish frames. Ask for a quote.
Everything Else
Flat rates to do common repairs. Here are some common repairs I see a lot. These prices are out-the-door:
Replace Tube/Flat Tire - $15
Shift or Brake Cable/Housing- $10
Hydraulic Brake Flush & Fill - $35 each side
Tire Swap or Mount - $10
Assemble a bike - $50 (Most bikes)
Repair a spoke - $30 ($5 each additional on same wheel)
Those are the repairs I see the most. If you'd like a quote on anything else, please contact me.
The labor rate for other repairs is $75/hr. This includes bike assembly (most bikes in a box can be assembled in about a hour). I do not charge a shop fee for incidental costs.
About how much does it cost to....
I know when I'm looking for repair help (for say, my house), I like to search the internet to get an idea of how much it will cost me. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of people out there that list 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'm going to do my best anyway - here's an idea of what I charge to do these common services on a typical bike. Please note, every situation is unique and it might cost more or less for you specifically. This is just to get an idea of the ballpark that I usually see:
Replace Tube/Flat Tire - $15
Sticky Shifting/Braking (replace brake/shift cable) - $10 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) - $20-40.
Tire/wheel rubbing the brake pad or frame intermittently - $10-30
True a wheel - $20-30
Replace a tire - $10 plus cost of the tire ($20-70)
Replace brake pads (set) - $20 (economy), $40 (performance)
Now offering wheel truing! As spokes age, or get stressed by riding, they end up stretching. Longer spokes upset the careful tuning of your wheel that allows it to roll perfect straight. If you see a wobble in your wheel or tire, likely your wheel no longer rolls true (straight) and it is time to have it re-trued.
Truing is a labor intensive process and is about finding balance in tension between all the spokes. Wheel truing is done by the hour. While each wheel is different and has unique needs for truing, I generally can true a wheel for $20-30.
Tubeless Tire Conversion! Never get a flat tire again! (Ok, almost never). If you're interested in hearing the benefits of tubeless, let's talk. If your bike is already tubeless compatible but still running inner tubes, converting over does not take long and is fairly inexpensive (<$50)
Read about my experience when a tubeless tire saved my ride in my blog, here (29 October 2022).
Cyclists and racers! Need a checkup before the race but cant get into the pro shop? Reach out to me for same day service at no extra charge! If I can fit you in my schedule, I'll do it. I know what it's like to need an emergency repair just before a race.
