Workshop
Apart from offering a fantastic range of bikes and riding gear, Top Gear Cycles also offer trusted workshop services. Using park tools and DT spokes, our trained mechanics have over 12 years of combined experience in truing and rebuilding wheels, disk brake and fork servicing.
Having gained experience at Mavic building and truing wheels, Tim Devlin heads the Top Gear Cycles workshop and provides first hand advice and suggestions. There is’nt any job we can not do to get your bicycle up and running so contact us regarding any bike building or unusal repairs. Click here to email Tim.
7 SPEED SERVICE: Gear and brake service and a full bike safety check. This sort of servicing is provided for new bikes that don’t need much attention or bikes that have been sitting the garage for along time. We will also notify the customer about any major problems.
8 SPEED SERVICE: Gear and brake service and a full bike safety check plus our Top Gear bike spa. What we do is drop both out of the frame, take the chain off and degrease it. Using degreaser to clean the main part of the bike we would then use a polish on both the frame and the wheels. Once everything is clean we put it all back together checking all parts as we go. This service includes minor wheel trues.
9 SPEED SERVICE: This service includes the same things as mentioned in the last two services but the big difference here is we get a bit more personal. The next step we take from the 7 speed service is to remove the cranks and the bottom bracket from the bike. Everything is degreased from top to bottom, even the front and rear derailleur. Both wheels are trued so that they run smooth through the brakes. After we have polished the bike and parts we now re-grease the bottom bracket, the dropout, seat post, pedals and the headset. This sort of service is for most high-end road and mtb bikes, but really anyone who’s looking for a complete bike service this one’s for you.
10 SPEED SERVICE: This service is much like the last one, but more love is thrown into this service. We strip the whole bike from top to bottom and start from scratch. Everything is taken apart serviced and rebuilt, all cables are replaced and the bearings from the hub and headset are replaced (sealed cost extra). This service is recommended for Tri & mtb bikes at the start of race season and at the start of base training.
