Flats & tubes
Puncture repair, new tubes, tire swaps, and those mystery slow leaks that only show up on the way to work.
Local · Honest · No appointment needed for most jobs
Your neighbourhood bike shop — fixed right, explained simply.
We’re Sam and Leo. We mend flats, sort sticky gears, true wheels, and get you rolling again without the big-box runaround.
- Walk-ins welcome
- Same-day for most flats
- E-bikes & kids’ bikes too
Opening hours
We’re a two-person shop — if the door’s locked mid-day we’re probably grabbing lunch. Text us and we’ll open up.
| Monday | Closed |
|---|---|
| Tuesday – Friday | 10:00 – 18:00 |
| Saturday | 9:00 – 16:00 |
| Sunday | Closed |
Peak times
Saturday mornings fill up fast. Drop off Friday if you need the bike for a weekend ride.
What we fix
From a slow puncture to a full overhaul. If it has two wheels and pedals, bring it in — we’ll tell you straight what it needs.
Gears & drivetrain
Skipping gears, noisy chains, sticky shifters. We clean, adjust, and replace worn bits before they wreck the rest.
Brakes
Squeals, spongy levers, worn pads — rim or disc. Stopping well matters more than looking fancy.
Tune-ups & safety checks
A once-over of bolts, bearings, cables, and wheels so nothing unexpected happens mid-commute.
E-bikes
We service motors we know, swap brake pads, true wheels, and sort displays. Battery diagnostics by appointment.
Kids’ bikes
Growth adjustments, training-wheel removal, and teaching little ones how the bell works. First flat free if they help.
How a visit usually goes
- Roll in or message us Walk-ins are fine for quick jobs. For bigger work, a quick note helps us save a stand.
- We look it over together We’ll show you what’s worn and give a clear price before we start. No surprise add-ons.
- Fix, test ride, hand back Most flats and adjustments are same-day. Bigger jobs: we’ll agree a pickup time.
Why neighbours keep coming back
Plain prices
Labour is listed. Parts are costed before we fit them. If a cheaper fix will do, we’ll say so.
We ride what we fix
Commuters, cargo bikes, rusty winter beaters — if we wouldn’t trust it on our own ride home, it isn’t done.
Coffee while you wait
There’s a thermos and a couple of chairs. Magazines from 2019. It’s fine.
Honest “leave it”
Sometimes the frame’s had it. We’ll tell you — and help you figure out a sensible next bike if you want.
