The better question is what don’t we offer! There are only a few jobs that we don’t currently offer. An example would be having your road bike’s pressfit bottom bracket refaced.

We are focused on serving boundary county. We have relatively low overhead costs/mo which allows us to offer very competitive pricing despite being mobile. Being mobile is awesome because you don’t have to transport your bike and we don’t have to store it!

While buying a used bike is tempting. You should also consider that it may require extensive repairs and that they may amount to more than the cost of a brand new bike. If you are buying a brand new bike, many websites offer the previous year models at a discount which is worth your while. If you buy a new bike and need help assembling it you know who to call!

You should always store your bike indoors or at least under a roof. Leaving it out for one winter may cause significant damage. Unless you have a safe way to transport your bike, transportation is the #1 way your bike will get damaged. That is another benefit of the bike mechanic coming to you! You should learn to do your own basic maintenance. Lubricate your chain and inflate your tires before each ride. Check for any loose bolts. Clean your bike (especially the drivetrain) after every ride. WD-40 is a good cleaner but a horrible lubricant. You can clean your bike w/ WD-40 but use a dedicated chain/dry lube for the chain. Simple TLC like this will save you lots of money. I’ve seen brand new drivetrains ruined in a year of riding while a drivetrain that was looked after lasted 5 years of hard riding.
