Professional Repairs, Builds, & Tune–ups

At Broadway, we take pride in our quality repairs. We fix bicycles expertly, from minor repairs, flats, and adjustments to package deals such as tune-ups and overhauls. We love what we do, so you can be sure that we’ll fix your bike better than anyone. All of our repairs go through a full double safety check. We always test ride your bike before we give it the thumbs up to make sure your bike is safe and performing as it should!

We take in service exclusively via walk-ins.

Any potential while-you-wait services are offered based on capacity.

Just bring your bike in and we can give you a free service estimate. You can leave the bike with us, or schedule a more convenient time.

For service estimates, please be prepared to wait during the consultation. We will assess the condition of your bicycle and go over anything that we recommend addressing as well as anything that is of concern to you. At that point, we’ll be able to generate a cost estimate and provide a timeline for the turnaround of the work. You can then leave the bike with us, or schedule a more convenient time to drop it off for service.

Flat Repairs

Flats are a drag. As capacity allows, we do our best to offer flat fixes while you wait.

We will inspect your tire for the offending object, check your rim strip and tire for damage, install a new tube and make sure your chain is properly oiled too!

A basic tuneup is recommended once a year to maximize your bike’s performance and longevity.

The price of the basic tuneup includes labor for the following:

Grease the seatpost
Grease the stem (on threaded stems)
Remove and grease the pedal threads

Adjust the headset bearing system
Adjust the hub bearing systems
True front and rear wheels
Adjustments of the front and rear braking systems
Adjustments of the front and rear shift systems

Any parts replacement and installation are additional. We provide free estimates, so bring your bike in to learn more about your individual needs.

Custom Wheel Building

If you have your heart set on a custom set of wheels – let us build them for you! Do you long for a 700c wheel laced to a 3-speed hub?

Are you planning a tour and want a bombproof adventure? We will help you select your components (hubs, spokes, rims) and then professionally assemble them for you. All hand-built wheels come with a 30 day check-up and a 1 year warranty.
