I operate bicycle repairs from my home in Thueston by appointment only. Please get in touch with me to arrange an appointment.

BORG Wheels has a fully equipped workshop and the specialist knowledge to deal with all brands of drive train and bikes, old and new. Also, any advice you are given, call in to discuss your needs.

What a service covers

Well, what is needed really. Modern bikes have different service requirements than those with more traditional components. For example, modern MTB and road/gravel bikes have hydraulic disc brakes and use hubs, BB's and a headset that uses cartridge bearings. Work normally needs to be carried when these parts are worn rather than preventative servicing. 

We will be able to advise you what your bike needs once I see it - this cannot be done over the phone.

Once a year, for bikes that are ridden regularly, it is advisable to strip it back to the frame and clean everything. All threads cleaned and the whole bike reassembled. This stops bolts seizing and becoming a problem down the line. 

Servicing Rates: £40 per hour.

I bill based on time spent. If the bike requires just a checkover and a couple of adjustments that take 30 minutes your bill is £20. Similarly, if the service needed takes 2 hours plus parts then the bill will be higher. 

Hense appointments are needed to assess your bike. 

Annual Service

Cost ~£100. This is the strip down to the frame. Everything is removed. Everything is cleaned. All threads cleaned and the bike reassembled. New cables are best fitted if the cables that come out are unfrayed. All new parts are an extra charge. Any corroded bolts or other fixing can be changed at this point. All threads will be greased or anti-seize used where appropriate. Any frame that requires bolts drilled out will incur an extra labour charge based on the time taken.

We have the tools and the experience to deal with almost any kind of maintenance on any brand of bicycle. If we lack any tools we buy them. I love tools.
