Our Services
Black Cap Cyclery goes beyond the scope of your average local bike shop when it comes to bicycles with "obsolete technology". With the help of a decades worth of fixing bikes and educating clients on how to do the same, Adam takes your repairs personally.
Safety Check
An opportunity to have your bicycle checked over from front to back and ask any questions.
All bolts are torqued, cables, housing and the frame are inspected for damage or corrosion. The spoke tension in your wheels is also checked.
-Bolt check (controls, bars, saddle, seatpost, stem, cranks)
-Cable, housing, frame inspection
-Check spoke tension, inspect rim for damage
-Headset adjust
Quick Tune
This tune-up is a "while you wait" service. Designed to get you back on the road quickly, safely and rolling easily.
​
If your bike has a few nagging issues that are a mechanical breeze to fix, this is the one for you.
-Tire pressure check
-Brake adjust and balancing
-Shift indexing and limits set
-Bolt check (controls, bars, saddle, seatpost, stem, cranks)
Basic Tune
The Basic Service is based around a 24-hour turnaround (We usually get it back to you the same day.) This is more thorough than the Quick package; truing wheels, adjusting and inspecting bottom brackets and headsets, as well as including labour costs to swap chains, cassettes and other such items.
​
If you can stand to be away from your bike for a day or so, and we notice something that needs a-fixin', then you're in need of a Basic Service.
-Quick Service
-Hub Adjust
-Wheel True (50% off spoke replacement labour)
-Headset Adjust
-1x Flat Repair/Tire Swap
-Chain Install
Comprehensive Tune
This is a full detailing. Fresh grease and bearings where applicable, and none where it's not!
Your frame and drivetrain will be stripped down and cleaned up, reinstalled, adjusted and lubed. Your bike will work just like a new bike, with your old (now clean (!)) parts on it.
​
If you have a drivetrain component that is worn past its useful life, or some rusted out cables, then this service will right those wrongs.
