Spokes are cut to order in-house according to your preferred hub, rim, and lacing combination.

  • BRAKE BEDDING_

    Ensure your brakes are performing optimally without the need to clock up a few miles first. Pad bedding with the SINTER MACHINE is offered as standard in our SILVER and GOLD services.
