If you've purchased a bike online and want it assembling quickly, safely and to ensure its best performance, I can help. From a simple check and tune to a full service - consider 1-4 services a year to keep your bike in top condition. Whether you know what the issue is, and need it fixing, or you need help diagnosing the problem, get in touch.
A free visual health check establishes if a quick service will do the trick, or whether there are bigger potential issues. Hi! Thanks for visiting Bikesparx. I'm Mark Wilson, and I've been working in the bike trade since 2012. I was lucky enough to be living in California at the time, and took the US equivalent of Cytech Level 2 over there - UBI's 'Certified Bicycle Technician' qualification.

Services
Basically an "M-check" is performed. Wheels are checked for trueness and for play in the bearings; the tyre condition is also noted. The cockpit area is checked over for loose bolts/bars or headset. The chain is checked for wear, and an inspection of the rest of the drive-train is made. Saddle and seat post security is checked.
To keep your bike in a good, safe, working condition, it should be checked/serviced every 12 months - even more frequently if it is used on a very regular basis. By having a regular check up, we'll identify and correct issues before they become more serious and expensive. I'll give your bike a thorough once over, checking the brakes, gears and tyres for wear and damage - so you can have peace of mind that your bike will ride smoothly and safely.
Prices exclude parts unless specified. Please note BikeSparx does not sell parts; we will source parts as part of a repair or service if necessary, but this is not a bike shop. BikeSparx offers cycle repairs in addition to servicing. Most can be turned around in a single day, and best of all, you don't have to take your bike anywhere.
Unlike a high street retailer, BikeSparx doesn't have time targets so more care and attention can be taken over your box bike build. From simply removing the staples in the box to prevent the frame getting scratched when it's taken out, to its handover where any adjustments can be made for comfort, saddle height, fore/aft, handlebar height/reach.
BikeSparx offers a mobile service within a 10KM radius of DE7 where our basic check and tune can be undertaken at your home or place of work with no call-out charges or hidden fees. On inspection, should your bike require further work, it'll be taken to our workshop where we'll endeavour to get it back to you the same day or within 24 hours.

An extremely professional service. Mark came and collected my bike, serviced it, called to check & advise before commencing the work and had my bike ready to colect the following day. Quality work and my bike feels brand new. Would thoroughly recommend him and BikeSparx over any of the large car/cycle competitors.

Amazing service, came out very quickly to check the bikes over and got us booked in very quickly for the work. Great customer service and fabulous quality of completed work and reasonable prices also (had received a quote from Halfords prior to calling Mark and the cost of labor was extortionate in comparison to the cost of the work needed). Would highly recommend and will definitely be using again in future.

I’m delighted by the fantastic job Mark has done servicing four of our bikes ready for the spring. He has done such a good job especially on an older bike that was in need of a lot of repairs. Mark was friendly and very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I was really impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BikeSparx.

Mark responded quickly to messages about a couple of old bikes I wanted to get up and running. He inspected the bikes and gave me a straightforward appraisal of what needed doing, and I was pleased to find out it was cost effective to get them fettled and minor repairs carried out. Mark kept me informed throughout and never tried to oversell. Now 2 bikes back on the road, running as well as they have for years, all without breaking the bank. Thoroughly recommend.
