Professional bicycle servicing & repairs from the heart of Brislington, Bristol. Honest work, fair prices, fast turnaround.
I'm James — an experienced bike mechanic operating from a workshop at my home in Brislington, Bristol. I've been riding and working on bikes all my life and want to help local people keep their bikes running with minimal fuss and expense.
I'm here to tune up your daily commuter, adapt your old bike to do the school run, or repair your MTB after your latest crash! Whatever you need, I can probably sort it so try me out. I charge fair rates and always try to repair parts before replacing them.
From quick fixes to full rebuilds. All bikes welcome — road, mountain, hybrid, commuter, e-bike.
Pickup & Drop Off... for a small charge, I can collect your bike and deliver it back to you after. Just ask and we can work out the details.
Please note that in exchange for providing a quick turn around during evenings and weekends, I have a minimum charge of £30.
Clean and lubricate chain, adjust gears for smooth operation, check whole bike over and advise of any potential issues.
In-situ clean of gear components, lubricate and adjust gears for smooth operation, check all cables, inspect and adjust brakes for safe operation. Check all bearings and tyre pressures etc. Parts are not always needed for a medium service, but I will always let you know first if they are and give a cost.
Give the bike a general clean all over.

If your bike requires work that isn't covered by one of the services above, then I charge by the hour with a minimum charge of 1 hour. £30 per hour
Based on Millbank Close in Brislington. No need to trek across town — quality bike repair is on your doorstep.
I'll only ever advise you on what needs doing. However, I may suggest extra things that will improve your ride, give you a price, and then the choice is yours.
Most repairs can be done by the next evening, or even same-day at the weekend if you get the bike to me early.
Repairing bikes is my side hustle, but this means I'm open evenings and weekends so you can conveniently drop your bike off outside work hours.
