Services offered for you at Rocket Bicycle Studio

Rocket Bicycle Studio is all about showing your bike some love. Whether it is crying out for a Basic Cleaning or in need of a Tune-Up to make it hum again, we’ll give it the attention it deserves. And when it comes to being fit properly on your bike, we're all about giving you the time, expertise, and respect you deserve.

Basic Cleaning

Road grit, dust, gravel, sweat, sticky sports drinks...they all take their toll. And a clean bike isn’t just an aesthetic issue. Over time, components, cable and housing, and frames can become damaged simply from exposure to grime or corroding substances. With our Basic Cleaning service, we don’t just spray-clean your bicycle and move on. We take it through the "Octopus Car Wash". Here's what we do:

thoroughly clean your bicycle frame
hand clean the drivetrain (including chain, cassette, chainrings, front and rear derailleur)
hand clean wheels, spokes, hubs and tires
hand clean bottle cages and pedals
gently wipe down handlebar tape
re-lube and re-grease drivetrain and exposed components
(does not include any tuning up of your bicycle, or additional accessories needed)

Think of it like a spa treatment for your bike. After all, it’s worked hard for you.

Level I Tune-Up

After logging enough miles, the inevitable happens: parts start to loosen. With old-school steel bike frames, it was possible (though maybe not advisable) to tighten down screws, let them rust in place, and hope for the best. With today’s advanced carbon fiber, aluminum, or titanium frames, however, each part requires specific torque settings. Be safe. Sprinting towards the finish line or descending at 50 miles per hour is not the time to find out that parts are inadequately tightened.

Our Level I tune-up starts with a Basic Cleaning to give us a clean pallet to work with and assess your bikes current state. We then thoroughly inspect each part of your bike for proper tension: wheels, tires, hubs, spokes, brakes, headset, bar, stem, shifting system, cables, housing, crank, chain rings, bottom bracket, chain, front and rear derailleur, cassette, frame, and every single bolt. This service is recommended 1-2 times per season, depending on your yearly mileage. Give us a call or stop in for recommendations.

Level II Tune-Up

It's the big upgrade from your Level I.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a complete overhaul of your car, including a visual inspection of every single part for signs of stress and strain? That’s what we do during Level II Tune-Ups. Perhaps you’ve just bought a used bike and want full disclosure of any parts that might need work. Perhaps you’re getting geared up for a hard season of riding. Schedule this service at least once per year to keep your bicycle ready to ride and shifting well all year round.

We will complete the follwing during this Level II service:

Basic Cleaning service (see above)
disassemble every part
clean, inspect, lubricate every part of your bike to include bottom bracket, headsetand, drivetrain, etc.
complete re-build of your bike
every bolt and screw adjusted to the proper torque
includes replacement of cables, housing, and bar tape

A few items to note on your Level II Tune-Up. Your current bike fit and set-up will not be jeopordized. We will keep all your specs and reassemble your bike as it was.
