Fix Your Own Bike Guide & Rules
  • Be nice to the tools and each other!

  • Staff and volunteers are here to provide advice rather than do it for you

    • If you feel like you're not ready to fix your own bike, why not check out one of our maintenance classes!

  • Included in the cost: gloves, handwashing facilities, oils, lubricants, nuts, bolts and expert advice!

  • New and secondhand parts are available for purchase

  • Time charged is rounded to the nearest 10 minutes​

  • Due to limited space at Tollcross, we only have 2 stands available. These are suited for smaller jobs, such as:

    • Brake blocks​

    • Cable replacements

    • Minor adjustments

  • Some activities are too risky/messy for us to do in our Fix Your Own Bike sessions, such as:

    • Brake bleeds

    • Anything involving blowtorches/engineering

    • Tubeless tyre setups 

  • If your bike requires any of the above maintenance, please speak with one of our mechanics to book it in for a repair/service​
