Why choose us?
At your service
Here at Rutland Cycling, we know how important it is to keep your bike well maintained. And with over 750 bikes on our cycle hire fleet, we know a thing or two about how to keep a bike in tip-top shape.
All four Rutland Cycling stores have full workshops with the latest tooling and equipment, and our friendly workshop team are expert at fixing poorly bikes – so whether it’s a small repair, full service or custom build, we’re here to help.
Trust us, we’re experts
All of our workshops have Cytech qualified, certified mechanics who know cycling inside out. This gives us the edge over your average bike shop, as we can offer you first-hand advice on any cycling-related issue. Not only can we service your bike professionally and quickly, but we also offer a variety of specialist options, including custom wheel building, custom frame and bike building, fork and shock servicing, and professional advice on set up and positioning.
The ChemFree Smart Bike Washer
We’ve got one of these clever parts cleaners in all our workshops, and boy have they transformed the way we service your bike! Unlike other parts cleaning methods, which use nasty solvents (bad for our mechanics, bad for the environment), the Smart Bike Washer uses a natural cleaning process called bioremediation to clean and degrease your whole bike, safely and effectively.
Book your bike in for a Stage 2 service and we’ll use our Smart Bike Washer to get to work on your whole bike, til she’s shining like new again. Think of it like treating your bike to a spa treatment for her birthday…doesn’t she deserve it, once a year?
Free safety health-check and estimate
Before carrying out any repair, we’ll give your bike the once-over and discuss your requirements, before putting together a full estimate.
And if you’d like some advice on how to make your bike work better and safer, just ask: we’re here to help, 7 days a week.
Bike servicing
NEW! Fox Shox Servicing in house - plus, get a FREE 6-month Fox Shox service!
Servicing on any bike is vital to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. A poorly-kept bike will end up costing you more to repair, so it makes sense to keep your bike in good shape from day one. That’s why we offer a free first service when you buy your new bike from us.
Thereafter, to keep things simple we have 3 levels of servicing: Safety check, Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Free first service
Like a car, your new bike has a bedding-in period – normally 3-6 weeks, depending on use. It is really important to get your bike fined tuned at this point, so it continues to run as smoothly as it should.
This is why we offer a free first service when you buy your new bike from Rutland Cycling. This applies to any ready to ride bike bought from us, in store or online however it does not cover any bike that requires self assembly and you must also bring the bike to one of our stores as we are unable to collect. You can book your service in advance at any of our stores.
Types of service
We offer three different levels of servicing:
Safety check service: £24.99 (excluding parts)
Recommended if whole bike needs basic, minor attention.
Stage 1 service: £44.99 (excluding parts)
Recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on use.
Includes everything from a Safety check service, plus we use our Smart Bike Washer to clean your entire drivetrain!
Stage 2 service: £99.99 (excluding parts)
Recommended every 12 to 18 months, depending on use. Full strip down to frame and forks, using our Smart Bike Washer on your whole bike, to get it looking like new!
