Services and Pricing

Hey there fellow two-wheeled pedal pushers! Wanted to give you a rough outline of what services I'll be offering. Please note these are rough prices and I'm happy to give you a more detailed estimate for free after checking out your particular mode of conveyance!
  • Big-box Special- $10 - If you recently picked up a cheap rig to roll you from point A to point B, this package is a great place to start. Whether it was a garage sale deal or something from a major retailer, I want to make sure the machine will safely transport you to your destination. For a low, low price of $10 I will: 
    1. Make sure things that are supposed to be tight are tight.  Things that are supposed to move will move, to the best of their ability.
    2. Ensure you are running optimal tire pressure for your chosen terrain.  
    3. Lubricate your spinny parts to try and keep the ride quiet
  • Weekend Warrior- $20 - For those of you who have taken your cycling pursuits to the next level.  If you're using your bike to get around a couple times a week, heading out to the local trails for a little exercise or cruising the back roads on the weekends, this tune-up is for you.  It includes everything listed above as well as:
    1. Frame and fork wipedown
    2. Adjustment of shifting
    3. Adjustment of braking
  • So-pro Set-o -$30 - If you've gotten yourself a sweet road rig in hopes of joining the Tour some day, you've been out thrashing your mountain bike through some sick singletrack or you've gone car-free and do all your around-town tasks by bike, you're gonna want this tune-up to make sure its optimized.  Again it will include all of the above and I'll also go ahead and:
    1.  Fully clean the frame, fork and wheels
    2. True the front and rear wheels
    3. Lubricate all the cables and housing
I also offer each item a la carte, in case you don't want the whole kit-and-caboodle (but at those prices, why not get it all squared away!?).  In addition, I can do:
  • Cable replacements- $10 each + parts
  • Flat repars- $5 + tube
  • Accessory installations- Varies based on type.  Examples include handlebars for $20, stems for $10, etc.  Saddles for FREE!
  •  If you're tight on time, I offer bicycle pick-up and drop-off service for $15 extra (within reasonable distance) as well as on-site repair.  
  • Custom wheel builds are done for the cost of parts plus $30 per wheel and come with a 30-day guarantee.  
  • Basic Fit Service is only $10!
Feel free to drop me a line and we'll get you cruising in no time or upgrade your ride and get it dialed in to super-smooth Hobo worthy status.  Look forward to hearing from you!
