Andy's Bike Clinic

If you’re in the market, get yourselves along.

A very well looked after Specialized Bicycles Diverge that needed new SRAM road chain and cassette along with a Praxis Works bottom bracket (which between you, me and the gatepost seems waaaaaay over-complicated in its design, but what would I know?) You're probably getting sick of this now, but an Annual Service rounded things off. From what my customers tell me, the Annual Service really ticks all the boxes assuming the bike doesn't need a full strip-down. Full details can be found on the website if you're considering it

A couple of Specialized Bicycles you say? Step this way. Both this Myka and Crossroads had been left unloved for some time, but their owner was keen to use them whilst the fine weather persisted. A new KMC Chain Europe was thrown on to the Myka keep things moving sweetly and the bike was treated to an Annual Service. The Crossroads meanwhile got new Vittoria UK Adventure Tech tyres along with tubes, Elvedes Bike Components brake pads and cables and again, an Annual Service. The good weather means these are going to see plenty of use over the summer and in to the autumn

The aforementioned Bianchi was accompanied by this CUBE Bikes Attain Race which, thankfully, didn't need quite as much attention. A new Shimano Bike PressFit bottom bracket and replacement TRP Cycling brake pads plus an Annual Service sufficed. Just as an aside, I absolutely love using the Wheels Manufacturing bottom bracket press...what a game changer from the Park Tool press I'd been using for years

Next up is this Bianchi Nirone in their trademark Celeste colourway. Full on spruce required on this one; new Schwalbe tires Lugano tyres, Shimano Bike chain, cassette and bottom bracket all rounded off with an Annual Service. Phew! It rode a lot better than it did when it arrived

Shocking lack of updates on here, I do apologise. Holiday, life and busy work have meant I've struggled to get anything out there to you lovely lot. To make amends, here's a few of the bikes that have been through the doors in the last few months. First up was this Whyte whose Shimano Bike groupset had definitely seen better days. The decision was taken to strip everything off and replace with Shimano Bike CUES components (2x9). This meant the owner retained the wide range of gear options they were used to, but in a more cohesive package. If you're interested in something similar for your bike, just drop me a line

Never a dull day in the andysbikeclinic’s workshop. Two e-bikes, one full sus, a hard tail, a gravel bike and a friend’s husky sled/rig

Proper dusty trails this morning. First time out in about three weeks

Sorry this is a bit late in the day to mention, but Andy`s Bike Clinic will be closed from this Friday, 3rd July re-opening Tuesday, 21st July. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause...

(But I need a holiday!)

Calm as calm can be this morning
