The Right Tools for the Job

One major reason to have your bike serviced at Peak Sports Bike Shop is because we have the right tools for the job. There are dozens of standards for nearly every component of a modern bicycle. If you were to create a spreadsheet detailing each standard’s name, dimensions, torque specifications, and installation method, you’d have a worksheet packed with enough data to impress an accountant. Many of these components require their own specific tool for removal, installation, and maintenance, but here’s the good news: Peak Sports Bike Shop has them all.

Even if you were to purchase the right tools for a particular job, the quality of a tool is often directly proportional to its cost. Quality tools are expensive, and while it makes sense to purchase tools you’ll use over and over, many of them simply aren’t used very often by the average enthusiast during their bike’s regular upkeep. Look in the garage of any amateur mechanic, and you’ll find an expensive specialty tool still bearing its factory sheen from disuse. Peak Sports Bike Shop is equipped with an impressive range of tools and hardware, right down to our very own purpose-built bike wash. These tools help us effectively tackle repairs the right way, the first time.

We Catch What You Might Miss

In addition to saving you from the headaches involved in diagnosing a mechanical issue, our technicians’ experience also means they can spot problems you might have never even thought to look for. As a rider, you put a lot of trust in your bicycle, and it’s easy to forget just how much your safety depends on your bike performing the way it should. After all, the last thing you need when you’re hurtling down a mountainside or sprinting to the finish is an equipment failure. But it’s impossible to prevent a failure you don’t see coming.

It’s not uncommon for one of our service technicians to discover a wheel, crank arm, or brake that is well past its recommended tolerances and just one ride away from catastrophic failure--even if it’s completely unrelated to the issue the bike was initially brought in for.

It’s for this reason that one of our trained service advisors examines your bike front-to-back, top-to-bottom when you bring your bike in for service. While it’s in the stand, they can point out other concerns you might not have noticed or thought to check. Your safety is our absolute top priority, so we do everything we can to keep you apprised of your bike’s condition.

No Matter What You Ride, We’ve Got You Covered.

It’s easy to underestimate the value of having your bike serviced at a professional shop like Peak Sports. While it’s true that some bikes are simpler to work on than others, it’s also true that bikes have come a long way since their inception. And while those advancements have made riding much more pleasurable, they often come at the expense of simplicity.

Modern bikes are more specialized than ever. A necessary aspect of that specialization is the use of more highly integrated, precision-machined components to help bikes perform in a wide range of extremes. From full-suspension mountain bikes designed to soak up massive hits, to ultra-lightweight road bikes built to demolish PRs, to motor-assisted e-bikes delivering assistance to help you rider further, there’s more to keep a modern bicycle rolling safely and smoothly than you might think.
