This Mondraker Level R came into Progressive Cycles for a good old refresh, and we’ve given it the full treatment! 💪

First job — the tubeless sealant was completely dried up, so we stripped everything down and refreshed the sealant to get those tyres ready for more miles. 🛞

Next up, the brakes got a full flush and bleed to get that crisp, consistent braking feel back. 🛑

Then it was time to give the whole bike some love! 🧼✨
A proper deep clean, including the complete drivetrain, getting all the grime and muck shifted and everything looking fresh again.

The bike is now loaded up in the back of the Progressive Cycles van 🚐 and ready to head back to its owner this evening.

Another bike serviced, cleaned and ready to hit the trails! 🔥

Mondraker Level R — Service Time! ⚡🔧

First things first when an e-bike comes through the doors… plug it into the Bosch diagnostic software! 💻🔌

Before we get deep into the service, we want to know exactly what’s going on with the bike.

And it looks like this one is due some software attention 👀

✅ Bosch diagnostics checked
✅ Errors scanned
🔄 Full software update required
🔧 Then it’s time to get stuck into the full service!

Keeping the software up to date is just as important as keeping the mechanical side of your e-bike running sweet. ⚙️🚵‍♂️

Stay tuned to see what else we find once we get this Level R stripped down! 👀🔥

Progressive Cycles — keeping your bikes running properly. 🚲💨

This Specialized MTB came into Progressive Cycles with some serious braking issues — and it didn’t take us long to find out why! 🔧

🛑 The brake caliper wasn’t centred correctly, meaning the pads weren’t working as they should.

And then we checked the brake fluid… 😳

That fluid was blacker than the ace of spades! 🖤♠️ Definitely time for a full flush and bleed!

So we got stuck in:

✅ Full brake system flush & bleed
✅ Brand-new brake pads
✅ Caliper correctly centred and aligned
✅ Full brake check and setup

Once we were finished, the brakes were feeling sharp, powerful and exactly how they should be. 💪

It’s amazing how much difference a properly maintained braking system can make — especially when you’re riding hard! 🤘

Another MTB leaving Progressive Cycles ready to hit the trails with confidence. 🚵‍♂️💨

🔥 A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO 🔥

I just wanted to give a huge shoutout and thank you to for giving Callum some coaching lessons over at Farmer John’s MTB Park. 🤘🚵‍♂️

The difference in this kid since having a few sessions is honestly incredible! His confidence has absolutely skyrocketed, and you can really see it every time he gets on the bike. 💪

We headed back to Farmer John’s today for a ride and I genuinely found myself struggling to keep up with him through some of the sections! 😂🔥

He’s riding with so much more confidence, attacking sections that he would have probably hesitated at before, and most importantly, he’s absolutely loving it.

As a dad, watching your kids progress and gain confidence doing something they love is one of the best feelings there is. ❤️

So once again, a massive thank you to — whatever you’ve taught this lad, it’s definitely working! 😍🤘

Keep pushing Callum, keep riding and keep sending it! 🚵‍♂️💨

This Mondraker Chaser came into Progressive Cycles with a fair few issues that needed sorting — and this one definitely wasn’t going to be a quick fix! 😅

🔴 Rear Shock Issues
The rear shock was in a bad way. The airshaft seals had torn, meaning the shock simply wouldn’t hold air. After further inspection, we found the shock shaft itself was damaged, which was ultimately what caused the seals to fail.

The shock was sent off to FOX for a full service and rebuild, including a brand-new shock shaft. 💨🔧

🔴 Dropper Post Cable
The dropper cable had snapped inside the frame, meaning a large strip-down was required to get everything replaced properly.

🔴 Gear Cable
The gear cable was also well past its best — but there was more to the story…

The chainring had actually cut through the gear cable due to the cable having a slight bend and not being installed correctly in the first place. 😬

So we got stuck in!

✅ Full Fox shock service & rebuild
✅ New shock shaft
✅ New airshaft seals
✅ New chainring
✅ New gear cable
✅ New dropper cable
✅ Almost 90% of the bike stripped down to replace the cables
✅ Full rebuild and final checks

This was definitely one of those jobs where you have to strip it properly, find every issue and put it back together correctly rather than just fixing the obvious problem.

The Mondraker is now back together, running properly and looking as good as new! 💪🔥

Another bike rescued and ready for its next adventure. 🚵‍♂️💨

This Riese & Müller e-bike came into Progressive Cycles from another bike shop with one major problem — no power being supplied to the bike! 😬

After carrying out a full investigation and testing the electrical system, we tracked the fault down to the motor and the power discharge cable.

We got straight onto Bosch eBike Systems and ordered a brand-new replacement motor and power cable.

The parts arrived today, so we got straight to work:
🔧 New Bosch motor fitted
🔌 New power discharge cable fitted
💻 Full software update carried out
✅ System fully tested and checked

Everything is now working exactly as it should and the customer has been contacted to come and collect their bike. 🙌

Another e-bike fault diagnosed, repaired and back out on the road! 🚲⚡

At Progressive Cycles, we don’t just throw parts at problems — we diagnose them properly and get to the bottom of the fault. 💪

BIKE IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER”… APPARENTLY NOT!

This Santa Cruz Bronson came into us after the customer purchased it from someone on eBay, with the seller claiming it was in “perfect working order.”

Well… that turned out to be one ENORMOUS fib! 🤦‍♂️😂

Once we stripped the bike down, we discovered that EVERY SINGLE BEARING on the bike was rusted and shot! 😳

And when we say every bearing, we mean EVERY bearing — wheel bearings, frame/pivot bearings, headset bearings… the lot! 🔩💥

But we didn’t stop there.

❌ Incorrect 160mm brake rotors front and rear
❌ Completely worn drivetrain
❌ Bottom bracket absolutely finished
❌ Jockey wheels needing replacement

So, we set about putting this Bronson back where it belongs. 🔧

✅ Every bearing replaced throughout the entire bike
✅ New headset bearings
✅ Correct 203mm front / 180mm rear brake rotors fitted
✅ New chain
✅ New cassette
✅ New jockey wheels
✅ New bottom bracket
✅ Full strip, rebuild and setup

And the result? 😍🔥

This Bronson is now looking absolutely mint and, more importantly, riding like a brand-new bike!

It’s amazing what a proper strip-down and some TLC can do. 👌

The best bit? We’re looking forward to getting it back to the customer this evening so they can finally enjoy the bike they thought they were buying in the first place! 🚴‍♂️💨

Another bike saved and another customer looked after by Progressive Cycles. 💪
