We are all about servicing

With our servicing, you can rest assured that your bike will be carefully inspected and serviced to the highest possible standard, no matter which level you choose.

Owner, Graeme, is a Level 3 mechanic trained by the Cycle Systems Academy with over 10 years as a professional mechanic; Frank has been a professional mechanic for over 20 years at some of the best bike shops in Scotland; and Dougie, with over 10 years experience, is probably the most knowledgeable and skilled ebike mechanic in Scotland. Your bike will be serviced in-line with the highest industry standards. We hate surprises as much as you do: we’ll inspect your bike in the first instance and make you as aware as possible of what parts may need to be replaced before you take the plunge with a service; we’ll also phone straight away if, during the service, something crops up which you may not have expected.

For ebike work our mechanics are Bosch and Shimano Steps trained. (Please note: we will not work on unbranded or retro-fitted ebike systems and will not keep them in the shop overnight when undertaking mechanical work.)

  • At Hart's Cyclery, we can service forks from Fox, Rock Shox, Marzocchi, Manitou, SR Suntour and more. We can also service rear shocks from Fox, Rock Shox, Marzocchi, Manitou and many other brands. Because of the increasingly complex dampers and tooling requirements, we now limit ourselves to lower leg, aircan and dropper servicing. For more complex servicing or for warranty issues, we use the brand-specific tech centres (SRAM or Fox) or TF-Tuned.

    Prices vary as shown and include the cost of parts (unless stated) which may vary from model to model; price will be agreed beforehand. (Please note, we cannot service the nitrogen damper units on some Fox shocks.)

    Fork Lower-Leg Service - £40 (lower legs removed; stanchions, lowers and seals cleaned and inspected; lower oil replaced (damper oil can also be replaced on request for an extra £10 depending on the fork).)

    Rear Shock Air Can Full Service - £30 (full strip down, clean and inspection; all seals replaced, seal kit charged accordingly.)

    Rear Shock DU Bushing Replacement - £10 (plus the cost of bushings)

    Multi-linkage bearing replacement (Four-bar, faux-bar etc) - £75 (plus the cost of bearings). This price will vary depending on bearing condition. If your bearings need cut out, we will charge according to additional time taken.
