Servicing
We Love to fix bikes, that’s why you will Love our service.
The Bike. It has two wheels and gets you from A to B, ideally in a manner which you enjoy! However if you find your bike slips gears or continually cause’s a frown, it's time to get it serviced.
Like a car, your bike is a mode of transport which needs to be checked regularly to make sure everything is in working order, and with technology advancing faster and faster in the bike industry, things need to be in tip top condition to get the best out of your efficient mode of transport.
You wouldn't drive a car that failed an MOT, so if you're serious about biking why would you risk riding a dangerous bike? (If it is, we will let you know!) So leave your bike with the Cytech qualified technician and we will get you riding safely again.
We offer various service levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold, for all styles of bikes. Road, Electric, MTB and BMX to name a few, even tandems. We’re flexible too, so if your bike needs something a little more than a bronze but not quite a silver we'll work something out.
Booking is preferred for a quicker turn-around time, though you can drop your bike off any time and we will give you an up to the minute idea of service time.
All we ask of you is that you bring your bike to us clean (a surcharge will be added if MTB/E-Bike/Touring/Road bike is covered in mud, our mechanics like a clean workshop!)
10% discount on any replacement parts required from our shop, included with all services.
