Bike Repairs and Servicing

Update Regarding repairs.

There is high demand for bike repairs as many people are cycling to avoid public transport.
Due to this and also because of a shortage of many parts caused by Brexit and the Pandemic, we are be unable to repair every bike that is presented.
We apologise for this in advance.
To avoid disappointment please call our store in advance to check if we can book your bike in for repair.
Repairs may take longer than our usual same day service.

We are Dublin city's longest established bicycle and e-bike repair service providers.

Our same day service will have you back on the road in no time.

E-bike parts are not generally interchangable, this prevents us from repairing brands that we do not stock.

There is nothing like the simple joy of riding a well maintained bicycle.

Keeping your bike in good working order will make cycling a pleasure.

Have your brakes and gears adjusted for the best performance.

Adjust your seat to the correct height to reduce leg and body strain.

Inflating your tyres to the correct pressure will help you reduce the effort needed to ride.

These simple adjustments will make a world of difference to the ease of riding.


Use spray cleaners and lubricants carefully to avoid expelling grease from bearings.

Cleaning the jockey wheels will greatly prolong the life of your bike's chain and sprockets.


Muc-Off drivetrain cleaner is very good for de gunking sprockets and chains.

Puncture resistant bike tyres

We have tubes and puncture resistant tyres.



Schwalbe Marathon Plus puncture resistant tyre


Keeping tyres at the correct pressure is one of the most often overlooked aspects of bike maintenance.

It is very important for safety. Many falls could have been avoided by simply pumping tyres.

Hard tyres make cycling a lot easier.
Riding a bike with low tyre pressure is like walking on a sand dune.

Pumping your tyres hard will dramatically reduce punctures. So hop to it, buy a decent pump and get going.

Keeping your gears properly set up will save you a very expensive repair.
We often see gear mechanisms caught in the spokes of the rear wheel destroying the wheel and damaging the derailer and frame drop out.

It pays to service your bike ,not only because of the financial savings but also to avoid a nasty accident.
