Bike Service Details
The Tune - $119
Keep it running smoothly.
Perfect for riders who want to keep their bike performing at its best between annual services. Whether you ride a few times a year or absolutely thrash it every weekend, The Tune is recommended every six months to keep everything running smoothly, safely and reliably.
Your drivetrain receives a thorough hand clean and degrease, with the chain and cassette cleaned on the bike before being lubricated. We adjust your gears and brakes, check and tension the wheels where required, lubricate all necessary moving parts, and carry out a comprehensive safety inspection and torque check to ensure your bike is ready for many more kilometres.
Like every service we offer, we inspect the entire bike—not just the items on the checklist. If we find something that needs attention, such as a bottom bracket, headset or hub, we'll let you know and provide honest advice on what should be repaired or replaced. Our tick menu is simply a guide; every bike is serviced according to what it needs. Our goal is to keep you safe and riding for years to come.
The Service - $159
Our most popular service.
If you ride regularly, this is the service we recommend every 12 months. Whether you're commuting, riding road, hitting the trails or simply enjoying weekend rides, The Service is designed to keep your bike performing at its best while helping to prevent costly repairs down the track.
Building on everything included in The Tune, this service takes things a step further. The entire drivetrain is removed for a thorough clean, including an ultrasonic chain clean and cassette clean, allowing us to restore smooth shifting and reduce drivetrain wear. We also carry out a detailed inspection and/or service of the bottom bracket, headset and hubs, ensuring the parts you don't always see are working as they should.
What's Included?
Everything in The Tune, plus:
✔ Drivetrain removed and cleaned
✔ Ultrasonic chain clean
✔ Cassette removed and cleaned
✔ Bottom bracket inspection & service as required
✔ Headset inspection & service as required
✔ Hub inspection & service as required
✔ Full bike adjustment and lubrication
Most bikes will fall into either The Tune or The Service. If you're unsure which service is right for you, we're always happy to help and adjust accordingly.
The Overhaul - $349
The ultimate reset for hardworking bikes.
For riders who demand the most from their bikes. Whether you're racing, riding year-round or spending every weekend on the trails, this is as close as you can get to a fresh bike without buying one.

Everything in The Tune & Service, plus:
✔ Complete strip-down to the frame

Kids' Bikes (12"-24") – $60-$89
Safe bikes = happy riders.
Kids grow fast, and bikes take a beating.
We'll inspect the bike from top to bottom, making all the necessary adjustments to ensure it's safe, reliable and ready for the next adventure.
