Advanced service

Whether it’s a minor accident or general wear and tear, we’ll tailor the Advanced service to your needs

We always recommend a Regular service or Standard service to keep on top of small niggles before they develop into more expensive issues but it’s not always avoidable. Perhaps you’ve had a minor fall, hit some very bad weather or just want to keep on top of some of the deeper jobs like bearing servicing.

The Advanced service is suited to a slightly worn or damaged bike that in addition to a Standard service needs extra attention in specific areas. For example it may need drivetrain, wheel or shifter replacement. Or you may want to go the extra mile and protect your investment with preventative servicing of wheel, headset, or bottom bracket bearings for example.

The Advanced service is NOT suited to a bike that has been ridden “into the ground”, needs all bearings servicing or has been involved in a collision with a motor vehicle – please see our Full service or contact us for advice.
