Workshop :: Bike Repairs and Servicing, Wheel Building and Suspension Servicing
Workshop Opening Times
Our workshops are open during our normal opening times monday to friday. We offer limited workshop facilities on saturdays and the workshop is closed on a sunday.
Bringing Your Bike For Repairs
When you bring your bike in for repairs, one of our staff will book it in and give you an estimate of the work involved. We will then give you a date which you can come collect your bike. Your bike will always be ready on time, unless we phone and advise otherwise.
Always bring the entire bike, so we can roadtest it. The only exception to this is when we are working on a wheel ie fitting a new tube, in this case it is easier and cheaper if you just bring the wheel.
Our Mechanics
We have a wealth of experience in our workshops, spanning 5 decades. We pride ourselves on being able to turn work around quickly and efficiently.
We have been a Shimano Service Centre since 1997 and we continue to offer excelent service, back-up and expertise on all Shimano product.
Our mechanics are Cytech accredited which ensures you can count on the quality of their expertise.
Wheel Building
If your looking for cheap wheels, please look elsewhere, and when they need their regular truing we'll be happy to true them for you. If on the other hand you want a quality wheelset, look no further. Our wheelbuilder has over 30 years experience. With wheels there is no substitute for skill and time, thats why our wheels stay true. We can build to any pattern with any quality hub and rim. We only build with DT Swiss Spokes, because they are the best.
Fork Servicing
All forks are serviced in house, we don't send them away, so lead times are much quicker. We service and tune forks from both Rockshox and Marzocchi. Dependent on what kind of damper they have, servicing prices start from £35. Your forks will be solvent cleaned inside and out, inspected for wear or damage, oil and wiper seals replaced and reassembled with new oil and grease. You can bring your forks in seperately or attached to your bike.
Our Workshop
At ELLIS BRIGGS, we have the best workshop facilities in the area. Our three highly-trained, full-time mechanics are able to do any job from fixing a puncture to completely rebuilding your bike. We also build and repair frames on-site. Our frame-builder is Reynolds 753 approved, the highest standard in the world! Having repaired your frame, we can re-spray it.
One area we are particularly proud of is our wheel building. Paul Briggs can build any kind of wheel, to any pattern with your choice of components, to the highest professional standards. In wheel-building, there is no substitute for experience and that's what you get at ELLIS BRIGGS.
We're still a proper family run cycle shop offering a level of quality service only possible after more than fifty years of learning.
Whatever your bike needs, rest assured that we'll be able to do the job, quickly and at a good price too.
Workshop Pricelist
In our workshop we work on a 2 tier system. The majority of bikes we work on are have been supplied by other shops, a lot of which do not do servicing and repairs. As a commitment to our customers, bikes purchased from us pay a discounted labour rate on all repairs.
