Professional Tune Up - $200

Hands On Education - Daimeon will spend 90 minutes giving you a thorough tour of your bike, teaching you how everything works, what can go wrong, and how to keep your bike in top condition. You'll learn from the guy who wrote the book on bicycle maintenance and repair. Literally.

The Bike Bible - You'll get a signed copy of "Essential Bicycle Maintenance & Repair," a book that Daimeon authored that has been called the "go-to resource for cyclists."

Tune Up - We start with a bike wash and drivetrain degreasing. Then your bike is lovingly dried and inspected for any worn or damaged parts. We then true your wheels, adjust your hubs and inspect your tires. Next up is an inspection of your frame and fork. Every bearing is checked and adjusted if necessary. We lube all your cables, your chain and any component with a pivot (brakes, derailleurs, etc.). Wheels are installed on the bike and your brakes and shifting are adjusted to perfection. Our trained eyes and hands make sure that your bike is safer and more efficient than ever before. 

Build Your Bike From Scratch - $250
