Bike repairs at Deers Leap don’t involve unnecessary expense – we don’t round up time or charge for unnecessary work or parts; we just ask for the time spent. Many jobs are hard to estimate for and often are grossly overcharged: for example one large chain of bike shops charge £12.50 to fit pedals! – this is usually a two minute job, but could occasionally be longer if the threads were damaged, so we’d normally charge around £3 plus the cost of the pedals. Our hourly mechanics’ rate is £36.00 which is the industry standard – but don’t be put off; most jobs don’t take long and we will call you if there’s a problem or we think it’ll be time consuming. Other jobs such as headset fitting, tyre fitting, new pedals, cables, handlebars, punctures: all charged at the standard rate.
