Repair Philosophy
Never replace when you can repair. We will find the very smallest part that
doesn't function on your bike and fix that rather than replacing whole
systems. This is for two reasons: 1 to save the customer as much money as
possible and 2, to reduce the amount of waste in the world.
Complete transparency is the goal in every repair. What needs to be done and
why will be explained thoroughly and in plain language. All worn parts are
returned to the owner of the bike unless otherwise requested.
The owner of the bike decides if it's worth fixing. Many bike stores refuse to
work on department store bikes. Their reasoning is that a repair that is equal
to the cost of the bike isn't worth doing. This doesn't take into account
sentimental value. Some folks just plain love their bikes regardless of quality.
We get this, hell, we might as well admit it: "Hi, we're Claire and Steve and we
LOVE our bikes." We will give you as accurate an estimate for repair as we're
able to and if you say "Go for it." we'll fix your $200 bike with the same care
and attention we would use on a $2000 one.
We also believe in doing the job once and doing it right even if that takes a
little longer. For example, we use torque wrenches (tools that measure how
much force is being put on a bolt or nut) whenever possible to ensure that
fittings are tightened correctly and consistently. This takes longer because
there are hundreds of different torque values for the various parts and
different brands of parts on a bike.
