Bicycle brake repair and hydraulic bleeding.
Reliable braking starts with identifying why the system is not performing correctly.
Brakes should feel predictable.
A lever pulling close to the handlebar, weak stopping power, rubbing, pulsing or persistent noise can come from several different causes. John inspects the complete system before recommending parts or adjustments.

Safety determines the recommendation
Brake parts are replaced when their condition requires it—not automatically. If damage or incompatible components prevent a dependable repair, John will show you the concern and explain the safest option.
