Like any machine, your bike will last longer and work with fewer problems if you get it regularly serviced by experienced and qualified CYTECH Cycle Technicians.

Where better to do this than in our well equipped Workshop, where we repair most makes and models of bicycles.

Feel free to give us a call on 01908 504004 to see if we can assist you. Alternatively, drop into the store with your cycle and tell us what you think the problem is. We can advise you what is required to fix the problem, how long it will take to fix and estimate how much it will cost, all at no obligation.

We can also provide a Custom Wheel Building Service - please contact us for more information.

Please see our workshop pricelist below for a guide to servicing and repair costs, all prices are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
