20 per session - - Posted Aug 01, 2018

Is your bike not working as well as it used to? Brakes a little sticky? Shifter not shifting anymore? I will help you fix your bike, and answer any questions you have along the way. Bikes are simple machines, but they do require a little maintenance every once and a while to keep them rolling smoothly down the bike path. I am a bike mechanic two days per week, and have access to parts and tools to fix any bike, trike, or tandem. lets get your bike back in tip top shape! If you live in the lansing area, I can even come to you, via electric bike, tools and all. I also have spare bikes that can me dismantled for their parts if your bike needs replacement parts. I can also offer advice on building a good commuter bike, happing you save gas money and the carbon footprint of driving a car or truck.

Training & Qualifications


I have been a bike mechanic since April 2018, and have a long history working as a mechanic and mechanical engineer. I also have a metal workshop for building various items. I have been building bikes since high school, when I added a 5hp air compressor engine to a specialized mountain bike that I cut apart for the occasion. I try not to be as invasive to the bike as I have been in the past these days, but sometimes you have to cut two bikes up to make a good one. I promise I won't cut your bike in half! (unless you would like me too)

Metal welding and fabrication

About Rex Litwiller

Since growing up on a small town farm, with 80 acres and a dairy cow for each one, I've been a builder. Back then it was tree forts and fixing my bike with dads arc welder (learned by watching my olde...r brother) and I had no idea what I was doing, only that I wanted to do it. Now days it's staying up till the crack of dawn (1:53 am now) building things in my two car garage turned metal smithing shop. I love welding, blacksmith work, and fabricating original concepts and ideas from scratch. I don't often back down from a challenge if I have the tools to take it on. Sometimes the tools to take on the challenge have to be built, and might make the project take twice as long, but in my eyes there is no reason for compromise. Especially when the tool store is closed the next day, and it would be faster to build the tool, than to wait till Monday for them to open back up.show more
