Engineers who are passionate about bikes.

Every wheel we build starts the same way, not with Every wheel we build starts the same way, not with a spec sheet, but with a question: what's this actually going to be put through?

This one was for a customer taking on Land's End to John o'Groats. Tent, kit, nearly a thousand miles of UK roads. An off-the-shelf wheel wasn't strong enough, so we built a set that was.

What's the biggest challenge you've ever taken your bike on, or the one you're still planning to do one day? 

Tell us below, we love hearing them. 👇

World Car Free Day 🚲 Most of the best days I've h World Car Free Day 🚲

Most of the best days I've had, were days I never needed the car at all.

Weekend rides, the odd tour, even just pottering to the café and back. No traffic, no parking, no rushing. Just get on and go.

Today's World Car Free Day, and I'm not here to tell anyone what to do with their car. Just a nice reminder that some of the best miles you'll ever do won't need one.

What's the longest car-free day you've ever had on a bike? Commute, tour, big adventure, small one, we want to hear it...

Hi to new followers, and a familiar wave to loyal Hi to new followers, and a familiar wave to loyal customers and friends 👋

We're Tom and Dave - father and son, and both engineers, which explains a lot about how particular we are with a bike on the stand.

Tom's the one usually elbow-deep in a repair or a service, solving problems and customising bikes to perfectly suit their rider. 
Dave's happiest building wheels, eying up new lines to stock or off out on a gravel bike somewhere miles from a road. 

We started this whole thing out of the garage years ago - the first job we ever did paid us in beer 😂🍺 

From there it was a market stall in Ashby, then eight years in a little shop in Measham, and now we're in Woodville with a bit more room - more space for servicing, more parts on the shelf, more bikes and accessories in stock so you're not waiting weeks for anything you need.

Our goal's never changed though - get people cycling, whatever they ride, whatever their budget, whatever their ability. That's it. That's the whole business plan, really.

Not businessmen, not salesmen. 
Bike-lovers, engineers, problem solvers. 

So call in and meet us, give our page a follow if you haven't already and let us know what's stopping you from getting out on 2 wheels 👇
Every bike that comes through our doors is differe Every bike that comes through our doors is different. So are you. 🚲

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all servicing. Before we touch a single bolt, we sit down with your bike and really look at it - how you ride, what you need, what's been niggling at you. There's a few things we'll always check and resolve,  but our real job is making your bike feel like yours again.

BIKE OF THE WEEK! This one previously had drop r BIKE OF THE WEEK! 

This one previously had drop road bars and double chainrings with a front derailleur.
Our customer didn't feel in control riding on gravel with the narrow drop bars, and was struggling changing gear between the front chainrings. So we installed flat bars and converted the gears to a 1x system, which has just one chainring.

She also asked for a bit of bling to make the bike feel more like hers, we're always happy to oblige. Your bike is a very personal thing, and we want you to love it. We'll help make it both feel and look perfect for you.

She's really happy with the changes - we think it looks fantastic, but more importantly, she can now ride those gravel tracks with confidence.

What small tweak would help you love your bike?

We'll never take it for granted that our passion is our employment 🚲 

It's not just the bikes we love being involved in, it's the whole cycling community.
