Bike Workshop Services

We get many questions about what our workshop mechanics can do, so instead of spouting off a list to every customer, we thought we would write it down for all to see.

Background

Paul has worked in the bike industry for over 15 years, servicing & building bikes. Being a competitive rider during the late 1990's and during the 2000's, Paul has a wide knowledge of all types of bikes and how each is ridden in both a race and recreational situation.  Bret is our certified bike mechanic having completed his Bike Mechanic course in 2011. 

Paul is also a qualified Body Geometry (BG) Fit technician which allows for a thorough and in-depth bike fit lasting normally 3 hours. Paul takes you through various steps of adjustments and riding positions using various BG Fit tools.  Once this data is collated, it can then be applied to your current and future bike set ups.

Training

Both mechanics recently completed Shimano Di2 Diagnostics training, and can now tune and adjust your Di2 using computer technology.  Both mechanics have attended in-house training at Specialized's SBCU in Port Melbourne.

Servicing, Bike Builds & Beyond

Asides from a standard ($75) and premium service ($150), our mechanics can do almost anything else (just dont expect an S-Works Venge feel after a service on a K-Mart bike, that would require a miracle!).  For a breakdown of what each service entails, click here. We also have an online service booking system for those that are short of time to arrange.

They regularly do bike builds customising to each riders needs and wishlists. Wheel builds and truing are available, plus we have a in-house spoke cutter so can customise spokes to suit if required. They can glue on tyres which we regularly do for our National team riders. Bike builds are normally charged at $100 per hour labour plus parts, for an accurate quote estimate contact Paul or Bret on 03 9437 8501.

They can set up Powermeters including Quarq, and are very familiar with SRAM Red, Rival & Force products. 

Next time your bike is in need of some TLC, drop by and experience a great service! Your bike will thank you for it.

(Please note that the tools we use are designed specifically for quality bike components, this makes working on lower quality bikes sourced from retail home/supermarket stores very difficult as these products normally break or bend with normal service procedures, plus it is very hard to source replacement parts.  Therefore it is our Policy that we cannot accept these bikes for servicing or bike builds.)
