Diagnostic department / describe the noise badly

What is it doing?

You do not need to know the technical term. Pointing, reenacting the sound, and saying “it happens mostly uphill” are all accepted diagnostic languages.

Click

Repetitive clicking

Could be drivetrain, pedals, bearings, a loose component, or your bike demanding attention through percussion.

Squeak

High-pitched squeaking

Brake contamination, dry contact points, worn components, or something else committed to ruining a peaceful ride.

Grind

Grinding

We would prefer you stop riding it until somebody has a look at that.

???

“Something weird.”

Our broadest and most popular diagnostic category.

On the stand / evidence

The glamorous parts of bicycle ownership.

Precision work, dirty hands, tiny adjustments, and several tools specifically designed to make normal people ask why that wrench costs $80.

How it works / surprisingly civilized

Bring us the bike. Keep the explanation.

  1. 01

    Drop it off

    Bring the bike in or schedule ahead for larger service.

  2. 02

    We inspect it

    We confirm the complaint, identify anything else worth addressing, and develop a repair plan.

  3. 03

    You approve it

    Major work gets an estimate before we start replacing expensive things recreationally.

  4. 04

    We fix it

    Parts are installed, adjustments are made, and the bike is checked before release.

  5. 05

    You ride it again

    Preferably without immediately locating an entirely new noise.

Turnaround / the question everybody asks

When do I get my bike back?

Minor adjustments Often same day
Standard tune-up Usually 1–3 days
Full service Usually 3–5 days
Parts required Depends what you broke

Demo turnaround times only. Real shops should replace these with their current scheduling and parts-availability policies.

Before you ask

A few things everybody wants to know.

Do I need an appointment?

Walk-ins are welcome for assessments and smaller adjustments. Larger services are easier to schedule ahead.

Do you repair bikes you did not sell?

Yes. We service bikes based on what they need, not where they were emotionally acquired.

Will you call before replacing expensive parts?

Yes. Work beyond the approved estimate should be discussed before proceeding.

Can I bring in an e-bike?

Mechanical e-bike service is available. Electrical-system support depends on the motor and battery system.

It probably isn't supposed to do that. We should look at it.
