Why do it

A serviced bike rides better

01
Brakes are safety
A lever that travels far or a brake that squeals needs adjusting before the next hard ride.
02
Small turns into big
A dry chain wears out the chainring and cassette. A play ignored wears out bearings. Catching it early is simpler.
03
Workshop for bikes and e-bikes
Tune-up with cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of brakes and gears, plus battery, motor and display diagnostics.

Av. Congresso Eucarístico Internacional, 1070 - Santa Cruz, Carpina - PE, 55811-000
