Performance & Specialist Services
From road bikes and cyclocross race bikes to high-performance everyday machines, I offer specialist servicing, upgrades and race preparation. That includes hydraulic brake work, tubeless setup and troubleshooting, drivetrain servicing, ultrasonic cleaning, hot-wax chain preparation and getting bikes ready for race day.
Parts, Upgrades & Advice
There’s an enormous amount of cycling equipment out there — and an equally enormous number of ways to buy something that doesn’t quite fit your bike. Tell me what you ride and what you’re trying to improve, and I can help with compatibility, sourcing and fitting.
I can source components and upgrades from leading cycling brands including Shimano, SRAM, SwissStop, Praxis, Challenge and Continental, along with wheels, drivetrains, brakes, tyres and tubeless equipment.
Whether you’re improving a commuter, upgrading a road bike or preparing a cyclocross bike for racing, I’ll help you choose something that actually suits the bike and the way you ride.

Everyday bikes. Race bikes. Everything in between.
I work on everything from Carreras, hybrids and everyday commuter bikes to road, cyclocross and race bikes. The price of the bike doesn’t determine how seriously I take the job.
Sometimes the most important bike is the one somebody relies on to get to work every morning. Sometimes it’s their first proper bike and their pride and joy. Sometimes it’s being prepared for a race on Sunday. They all deserve to be looked after properly.
Racing & Community
Cycling is a big part of life beyond the workshop. Whether it’s through Sundorne Racing School, supporting riders like Ethan Said or initiatives such as the HERA Project, getting involved with events or simply helping out within grassroots cycling, I spend a lot of time around bikes being used properly in the real world. That experience feeds straight back into the workshop, while also giving me the chance to support riders, create opportunities and give something back to the cycling community.
