Brake and Shift Adjustments

Brakes and gears go out of adjustment gradually, so most riders don't notice until a hill or a sudden stop makes it obvious. Cables stretch, pads wear down, and a small knock to the derailleur is enough to make gears skip.

We adjust and repair brakes and shifting at your location, and replace worn pads, cables, or housing when adjustment alone won't fix it.

Common questions

Why do my disc brakes squeal?: Usually from contaminated or glazed pads, or a rotor that's slightly out of line. Sometimes cleaning and alignment fixes it; contaminated pads need replacing.
Can a skipping chain be fixed with an adjustment?: Often, yes. If the chain and cassette are worn, though, adjustment alone won't stop the skipping, and we'll show you what needs replacing.
