Bicycle tune-ups in Augusta, Maine.
A thorough cleaning, adjustment and safety inspection—not a quick once-over.
Bring back the smooth, quiet ride.
A bicycle can gradually lose its good feel: shifting gets hesitant, brakes need more lever travel, wheels develop a small wobble and the drivetrain collects the grit that accelerates wear. JW Bicycle Repair’s primary tune-up addresses the bicycle as a complete system.
What the tune-up includes
- Cleaning of the entire bicycle
- Thorough drivetrain cleaning
- Brake adjustment as needed
- Shifting adjustment as needed
- Wheel truing as needed
- Adjustment of wheel, hub and headset bearings as needed
- Overall bicycle safety check
When possible, John evaluates the bicycle while you are at the shop so you can see what he sees, understand the priorities and receive an estimate before additional repairs are performed.
Parts and additional repairs
The $100 tune-up covers the complete service listed above. If parts or additional installation labor are needed, John will explain the work and provide an estimate before proceeding.

Should I schedule before bringing the bike?
