Black Mountains Cycleworks - Bike Repair & Maintenance

If you live in the Abergavenny area, consider using me for your servicing needs.

I typically include more within our servicing costs than with other bike shops in the area, return your bike quicker and offer a FREE Collection & Delivery Service.

I fully assess and quote for every bike prior to commencing any works to ensure there are no surprises.

I don't have a shop, but instead run a workshop from our spacious property, nestled in the Black Mountains, just North of Abergavenny. Visit by appointment only to this precise location:

Other Types of Servicing

Black Mountains Cycleworks Abergavenny Bike Shop

Hourly Rate

I charge £50 per hour for piecemeal work, such as gears, brakes, headset, wheel truing etc, broken down in to 15 minute slots. Complete services always offer the best value.

Please contact me in advance for estimates.

Guide Estimates:
Gear adjustment £20-25
Brake bleeding £15-20 per brake
Bottom Bracket Swap £20

Frame/Pivot Bearings

The time involved in this job varies hugely from bike-to-bike. It can be simple and relatively quick (like an Orange) or it could be a multi-pivot design with lots of linkages and bearings (Whyte).

That's why this is charged by time, rather than the overall job.

Labour £60-80 typical.
Bearings £40-95 typical.

Please contact me for a more accurate quote.

Suspension Servicing

I offer Fork and Shock Servicing as well as dropper post servicing.

Forks typically cost £120 for a full service including cartridge seals and oils. Or £80 for a lower-leg service with all seals.

Shocks typically cost £95 for a full service or as little as £55 for an air can service when performed at the same time as your fork.

Dropper posts vary in price greatly depending on make/model. Contact for price.

Ebikes

I do replace bottom bracket bearings inside motors and fix creaking from motors.

I do not offer firmware updates or electronic diagnostics.

Aside from this, ebikes are just bikes in every other way.
