A set up includes a bike rack for bikes to be fixed, about 10 bikes , and another rack for fixed bikes of the same size. We have the work stations which will vary in number depending on the number of techs hired for your day. A bike repair stand , a table to sit the wheel truing stand and a wash station. Normally we use the tables provided onsite to lay out consumables and other necessities.

Each bike will have the chain cleaned and freshly oiled. The bike will receive a quick wash to remove excess dirt. The wheels are checked for trueness, and tire pressure adjusted accordingly. The brakes are adjusted and lubricated as needed. The gears are adjusted and lubricated as needed. The seat post is moved to prevent it from sticking. Bottom bracket and pedals check for wobble. Check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are secure. Address any customer or accessory issues. Do a quick test ride, repeat. The time and effort required varies from bicycle to bicycle. We will do our best to fix what we can however we do not carry many replacement parts, just consumables. We will fix whatever we can. If there is something in need of a part we do not carry, the local bike shop will be the solution.
