Know Before You Go
- Quick repairs: During busy times, we prioritize light maintenance and aim to keep visits under 30 minutes.
- Parts: We patch tubes and provide free tubes when needed. We also supply cables and housing. Bring your own tires, brake pads or other parts. Email bicycle@colorado.edu first to confirm we can help with a specific part replacement.
- Repair limits: We do not overhaul bearings or suspension, bleed brakes, build wheels or perform repairs beyond our equipment and expertise. Visit a local bike shop for these services.
- E-bikes: While we can make basic mechanical adjustments, be prepared to remove your battery. Our stands cannot support heavy e-bikes and we cannot guarantee flat fixes on bikes with hub motors.
- E-Scooters: You are welcome to use our tools, but you will be on your own to make the repair. Many e-scooters are designed to be sold, but with little thought to repair.
- Wheelchairs: We can do some wheelchair repair, as well as order tires and tubes. Please email bicycle@colorado.edu to let us know your repair needs.
Stay with your bike during repairs. We are not responsible for bikes left unattended or stolen.
