WORKSHOP

The heart of any good bike shop, Ken Ellerker cycles has prided itself on the quality of work, enabling you, the customer, to get the best from your cycle. No matter what the type of bike, or the scale of job, we will always endeavour to offer a reliable, professional service using quality spares and accessories. To offer this service we have mechanics that are trained to Cytech advanced level NVQ3, and have over 25 years combined experience in just 2 mechanics!

We do not have set charges for work we do. Each job will be priced on the time it takes, that way you will be charged fairly rather than paying an average set price. We will also try to give you an idea of the cost of repair when the cycle is presented to us.

We are able to repair some makes of suspension fork and rear shock, although in many cases, we have to send the item to the importer or TF Tuning. Not all of the necessary tools and parts that are required for repairs are readily available, and can take a lot of time to order in, whereas many of our suppliers have dedicated teams solely for suspension repairs and servicing. This offers us and you a more speedy service.

We have earned a great reputation over the years for wheel building. A pair of bespoke wheels can make your ride something special. Using DT and Sapim spokes, we can build wheels for road or off road use, and in a variety of patterns to best suit your requirements. We can also repair many wheel sets such as Mavic and Bontrager provided, of course, that spares are available. We can also take on renovation work for framesets. These are sent to professional frame builders or sprayers. Minor alterations are possible depending on the state of the frame and/or forks. We have a very well equipped workshop that enables us to prep your frameset to a very high standard.

On a final note, we do not drop our standards to bodge a repair. If a bike or component is irreparable, we will tell you this and suggest it is replaced. This is because your safety on the roads or trail depends on a quality repair, and we do not want to make compromises.
