Laura is undertaking an epic journey cycling down South America. She’s currently in the Equadorian Andes after travelling through Columbia, and will soon be crossing into Peru.

She sent a message to say she’s having some issues with her bike and could I help diagnose the problem. Of course! After a few messages she can now hopefully get the issue sorted using her knowledge and a local bike shop.


Give her a like and follow her epic 16 month journey through South America

One of this weeks jobs was to fit a Duo brake to a customers bike. They need all controls on the right hand side so the Duo lever was the perfect answer. As per usual from Hope the quality of the kit is superb. The longer lever operates the rear brake and the shorter lever operates the front. Both levers can be used independently. Really impressed with the set up 👌🏻

Definitely time for a new cassette… any guesses which gear this customer has used the most?! 🤔😆

It was rather chilly when I arrived this morning with ice on the inside of the shop windows 🥶🥶. It is rather pretty though ❄️

I am back open again after the Christmas break. It’s the perfect time to get your bike serviced so it’s good to go for the spring when there will hopefully be some slightly warmer weather!

I had a beautiful gold Pinarello from 1982 in for a fettle this week. It’s now off to the motherland to ride the route of the Strada Bianche next week 😎 🇮🇹

It does remind me a little of C-3PO, in the nicest possible way
