We fix stuff.

mostly bicycles.

(but you're always welcome to bring your lawn chairs, knifes, printers, coffee machines, scooters…)

Shop:

We also sell some stuff! But the shop is small. Almost always in-stock are:

  • Spare parts for bikes (chains, brake pads, disc brake rotors, tires, tubes, bottle cages, racks…)

  • Accessories (chain lube, locks, water bottles, tire levers, inflate and repair cartridges, handlebar tape…)

For the rest: most of what you might need is generally available in 2-3 business days from our supplier network.

Bike services:

Of course, we do common bike repairs (see the price list here), like:

  • Bike check-up and cleaning

  • Punctures

  • Wheel truing

  • Chain replacement

  • Hydraulic brake bleeding

  • …

But we can also do:

  • Custom bike builds or sales on-request: gravel, durable commuter, touring bike, cargo bike…

  • Custom wheel building

  • Bike mechanic courses

  • Bike purchase consulting

  • Bike security modeling (alarm locks, frame locks, storage pods/racks)

  • You name it:
    We have the suppliers, a fair share of knowledge, you have the idea. If we don't have the two (which can happen quiet often), we can get them.
    Where bike shops will sell you a new bike, we'll first try our best to make yours the one you want.

  • try to work with European parts as much as possible

  • take care of the environment

  • take every job (provided we have time and it makes sense to have us do it)

  • love to nerd out about your bike

  • sometimes work for cheap, sometimes not

  • sometimes work quick, sometimes not

  • love to nerd out about other things too

  • work alone or with others depending on the need

  • sometimes like, sometimes dislike what the bike industry is pushing

  • rant on 11spd on ebikes (you can still come)

  • love the work we do and hope you'll love it too

Everybody is always welcome.
