More than
another tube.

A puncture can come from the tyre, the rim side of the wheel or a damaged valve. When a flat keeps returning, we look beyond the hole.

We inspect the tyre and rim tape, identify the tube or tubeless setup and check for damage that would make a simple tube change a short-lived fix.

At the workbench

  • Tyre tread, sidewall and embedded-object inspection
  • Tube, valve and rim-tape assessment
  • Compatible replacement or repair options
  • Pressure guidance based on the tyre, rim and riding setup

A wheel that runs true.

A visible wobble, broken spoke or repeated rubbing needs a closer look at the wheel. We inspect the rim, spokes and hub before deciding whether adjustment is appropriate.

Not every damaged wheel can be trued back into service. If the rim or other parts are compromised, we explain replacement options and the reason for them.

The tyre should
suit the ride.

A tyre choice balances the surface, the load you carry, clearance in the frame and compatibility with the rim. We discuss those details with you rather than choosing by appearance alone.

Bring the bike or note its tyre markings when preparing an enquiry. Include any tyre markings you know in the written description. Photos and part numbers can be discussed at the workshop.

Plan wheel or tyre work

Between visits.

Look for a change in pressure, cuts or bulges, and new wheel movement. Follow the tyre and bicycle manufacturer’s guidance for pressure and inspection. Avoid riding on a visibly damaged tyre or wheel.
