Bicycle Servicing, Repairs & Upgrades in Scarborough
Chasing Trails is here for jobs from basic to advanced bicycle servicing, repairs, upgrades and custom builds.
Booking a Service or Repair
Get in touch by phone, text or email. If there’s no reply on the phone, leave a voicemail and I’ll get back to you, usually the same day.
Prices
A check over is £20. This is a minimum charge that includes gear & brake adjustment if no other jobs need doing. If other jobs need doing you’ll get a list before work is carried out unless you’ve mentioned otherwise when booking in.
Custom
Get in touch if you have a new frame and you want it built up by someone with years of experience.
So you know roughly where you’re at when booking a bike service, starting prices for some of the more common jobs are listed below. All prices include the part and fitting, assuming you’re paying for the basic service as a starting point. Obviously expect better quality parts to cost more should they be required. Equivalent quality parts to what’s on your bike are advised, so those will be priced unless upgrades or downgrades are requested (where possible).
Recycling
If tyres or tubes are replaced we send the old ones for recycling. This didn’t used to be possible, but you can now bring old tyres/tubes for recycling for a small charge or for free if you’re buying new ones at Chasing Trails. Why? It’s the right thing to do – currently around 40,000 tons of bike tyres go to landfil every year in the UK, so anything that reduces this has to be good. They’re recycled properly & made into raw materials for a variety of uses. Zero go to landfill. Ask if you want to know more.
