Bicycle Service
30
Not everyone knows that bicycles need maintenance. Not everyone knows how to completely and safely assemble a bicycle from a box. Maybe your child's bike doesn't seem quite right. Whatever the reason is you may need to visit a shop, you may not have the time, money, or desire to do so. I love to work on bikes. It's a simple pleasure of working with my hands to improve the ride of someone who loves their bike. I understand not everyone can afford the full service of a shop and so here I can offer my skills to those who need it. I'm currently offering the following services:
Bicycle Bath (typically a 2 session process)
--Wash, dry, lubricate, polish
--Basic Tune Up
Basic Tune Up
--Gear adjustments
--Brake adjustments
--Check chain wear
--Tighten wheel hubs if necessary
--Frame wipe down
--Lubricate all moving parts
Parts replacement (you provide parts)
--Recommendations and compatibility conversations needed
Safety Assessment
--New bike from Amazon came in a box and you want me to double check it's safety.
--Fell on a ride and worried about damage
--Backed over a child's bike
Bicycle Assembly
Sessions are in 30 minute blocks. Turn around should be one day at this point, if not same day.
What I can't do currently are full wheel trues, spoke replacement, bottom bracket replacement, and a few other things that require expensive tools and stations found in shops. What I can do is recommend good shops near you to get those services managed.
Training & Qualifications
I'm an avid cyclist and I've been working in the industry for more than two years. Currently an intermediate level mechanic and sales associate at a bicycle shop.
Availability & Preferences
All mornings until 9am, evenings after 7.
Monday's and Saturday's are my days off.
