Drop Off Bike Repair
: Standard 42-Point Tune-up: $110
: Overhaul: $150
: Watch/Help/Learn: $90 per hour
Many people don’t think they have time to wait to get their bike repaired or assume that $90 per hour means that the mechanic would take his “sweet time” fixing the bike.
It is quite the opposite. Ryan is a man who is obsessed with time and does not like to do things that are superfluous. We fix the worst things first and make sure all 42-Points in the Tune-up check “safe.”
42 Point Tune-Up: $110
- Designed for the bike that is in decent shape.
- Your bike will be adjusted & tuned. It is not a deep cleaning and parts replacement.
- We focus on the bearings, brakes, gears, tire pressure and wheel truing.
- The 42 Point Drop-off Tune-up is for the customer who does not have time to repair their bike viaWatch/Help/Learn.
- We go over the 42 Points of adjustment.
- We clean your bike. We fix your bike. You will like your bike better.
Overhaul: $150
- Motto: “We clean your bike. We fix your bike. You will like your bike better.”
- If your bike is left outside for months at a time, it could use this.
- The Overhaul takes your bike apart and puts it back together.
- Parts install is included.
- Tune-up comes with fresh cables, housing, and ferrules.
- The dirtiest bike parts are removed, hand cleaned and placed in an ultrasonic bath.
- Bearings and headset are checked and cleaned.
- Wheels are made true.
- Everything that is not working is fixed.
- Every bike part is greased and lubricated.
- Tires pumped to pressure.
- When a bike needs an Overhaul, it often needs new parts too.
- Bottom bracket axle is opened, examined, and cleaned.
- Hydraulic brake bleeding and suspension services are not included.
- When you drop your bike off, Ryan will ask you a series of questions about your bike use.
- Turnaround time is one week from the time and day that you drop your bike off for the Overhaul.
There is a Third Option: Watch/Help/Learn
Press Play on the video below or visit the link, Watch/Help/Learn to see how you can not only get your bike fixed, but learn how to do it.
I guarantee that over the course of your Tune-up, you will see things that you won’t forget how to do and you may understand “what to watch out for.”
Watch/Help/Learn is a unique service. It was always joked that if you want to watch your mechanic, you better buy him beer or “pay double.” Ryan made a business out of that joke.
We charge $60 per hour. Generally, the hourly rate is cheaper than the “standard tune-up” of $75, and you get to learn/watch and get your bike back at the end of the tune-up.
During the Summer, many bike shops “take weeks to fix your bike.” It really doesn’t take that long. 99% of the time, they are being stored waiting for the mechanic to get to it.
At Standard Bike Repair, even in the busiest part of Summer, you can generally get Ryan to make an appointment with you that day, the next day or very soon.
“It is a reasonable way to get your bike fixed,” is pretty much the motto of Standard Bike Repair. Speaking of “philosophy” and other silly things on Ryan’s mind, check out my ridiculous blog.
