There are many more services that aren't listed ( example: frame prep, disc brake mount facing,  chase threads) here but I perform in the course of business.



Most of todays DtC ebikes are equipped with rear hub drive motors making these bikes heavier ( at least 65# ). They require more service even if it's just to replace a tube. Please keep that in mind when requesting ebike services.  All ebikes require battery removal prior to service



( Notice that most al a carte' pricing does not meet the minimum service charge )

Bicycle Assembly

DtC bicycle assembly and bicycle tune-up

  • Have you ordered a bicycle online from bikesdirect.com, RAD, EVELO, Himiway,  Aventon, 1-UP, Priority,   or one of the many bicycle DtC sites? I provide full bicycle assembly including a comprehensive bicycle tune up and basic fit.  The Bicycle Fixer is an approved Rad Power Bikes , Aventon, Evelo,  Priority, Bluejay and Flyer service shop. 

For reasons involving liability and parts availability , there are brands for which I do not provide service . Call or email ahead for questions.  We do not service Hoverboards, e-scooters and ebikes purchased from Amazon. 


Ebike Assembly w/ a tune-up: $195 * / Cargo bikes: $215 * / 1-UP $230 *


* Doesn't include accessory installation




Bicycle Frame up Build

A complete bicycle build requires very good to new condition brand name parts and a functional frame and fork. Components must work together.  If the bicycle incorporates a fully integrated cockpit,  these types take several hours so I prefer to do pickup and delivery. 

Sew-ups

Gluing and Repairing Sew-up Tires

Without getting into the how to of mounting sew-ups , I'll leave it at this, in almost 40 yrs of working as a mechanic ( we didn't have high-performance clinchers in the 70's or early 80's ) I've glued up somewhere around 1,000 sew-ups for professional racers and amateurs alike. There's no magic elixir or shortcuts, just tried and true application. Experience and good mentors were the best teachers for gluing sew-up tires.  There are more steps required than just stretching and gluing to get the most out of your tires. The cost of quality racing sew-ups is high compared to performance clinchers so why skip steps. Have it done professionally.

The Bicycle wheel

Bicycle wheel building

The bicycle wheel takes a lot of abuse considering they support a rider and bicycles weight, encounter road hazards and deal with a salty or wet environment, so for these reasons, I use DT and Sapim stainless spokes for wheel builds.  For bicycle wheels built for riding in the Puget Sound region, salty environments and touring, I use brass nipples. Alloy nipples and steel spokes have a tendency to galvanize which makes wheel truing difficult if not impossible after a few years of exposure to the elements. Leave the alloy nipples for high performance bicycle wheels used for track, time trial and tri bikes where saving time is a goal.


Labor per wheel $80 minimum

Parts extra
