Time for a spring clean, and that means your chain too! Silca's Super Secret wax l**e runs clean, fast and quiet, and can help make your drivetrain last loads longer than conventional l**es - 2oz bottles now in stock for £16

Curious about chain waxing but not sure how to start? Ask us at your next service and we can correctly strip and wax your chain for you. From there, drip wax like this is applied in a very similar way to your old wet chain l**e. No more filthy hands or leg from touching the chain, just clean and quiet goodness all-year round

New tool day! ✅ ☘️💚💲

I've wanted an HAG for a long time, and now I have one. Their tools are quite simply the best; no compromise, top quality.

The first "proper" tool I bought for my tool kit was a hanger alignment gauge from Park and it's been an absolute workhorse - it's one of my most used tools. If your derailleur hanger isn't straight, you're never going to get smooth shifting, so it's one of the first things that gets checked on any bike coming through. However, the Park one has a lot of play in the head of it, and getting accurate measurements and adjustments is trickier. With 11/12/13 speed bikes now, if that hanger isn't aligned EXACTLY then shifting suffers.

The Abbey HAG has zero play in. None. The tolerances are so tight that the measurements it takes are spot on, and the handle is so rigid that it gives perfect results each time.

And it's green and has a funny name, which is cool.

Making sure your bike is working the absolute best it can is why we have the best tools 👌

Loads of Di2 jobs, updating firmware, reindexing derailleurs, error checking ✅

This bike came in needing a firmware upgrade for the wireless shifters; while everything else on the bike can be updated wirelessly using the eTube app, ironically the wireless shifters need to be wired to a laptop using Shimano's diagnostic kit 🤷🏼‍♂️

No sweat, we can do that for you, and run through setting up the system correctly.

Two bikes today both hadn't had the limits set by the shops they were bought from, so we've done it to make sure shifts are smooth and there's no chance of dropped chains

Give us a shout if you need your Di2 checking over or problems diagnosing!

The SLT headset bearings are super smooth and dirt and grime simply can't get into them, so they'll last longer than any other bearing - useful if your bike has internal routing through the bearings, as you don't want to keep taking that apart every time you need to replace a bearing. And the Alpha bottom bracket is the peak of smooth, hard-wearing, minimal lost watts performance. Everything Ceramicspeed make is beautifully made and finished, despite you often not seeing it

Get in touch if you want the best for your bike too!

Bellissimo! Had the pleasure of building this Pinarello Crossista up recently, including the custom built LightBicycle x Hope Pro5 wheels

Absolutely no expense spared with this one; SRAM Red XPLR groupset, Most one-piece carbon cockpit, GP5000 AS TR tyres, Supacaz bar tape, Silca waxed chain, DuraAce pedals and topped off with a Ceramicspeed Alpha bottom bracket and SLT headset bearings. If you're doing it, may as well do it right! This thing is a weapon 💣

Got an idea for a custom build, or want us to suggest something? Get in touch to discuss! Whether it's a super-fast 1x build, gravel adventurer, endurance road bike or something for just pottering down the shops - we can help ✌️

We got some more of the good stuff in stock! It's worth buying for the packaging alone 🌈

Fresh batch of Supacaz Super Sticky handlebar tape landed in the workshop, ready to freshen up your bike ready for spring.
This stuff is a perfect mix of super grippy and extra squishy, exactly what you want to get rid of that road buzz when riding and keep your hands feeling fresh after a day in the saddle

Let us know when dropping off for servicing if you'd like some new tape installed ✌️
