FIRST STOP BICYCLE SERVICE

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR BICYCLE SERVICED RECENTLY?

Most manufacturers recommend bicycle service yearly.

Bike Service made simple

We offer a quick service turnaround on bikes of any brand — no appointment needed. Stop by our First Stop Bike Service Center today, and our expert in-store technicians will have your ride rolling like new in no time at all.

Here's How We Do It

1) LISTEN

We want to know about your concerns, learn about your riding habits, and understand your goals. That way, we can provide exactly what you need to get the most out of your bike.

2) INSPECT

One of our service advisors will put your bike in the stand and run it through our professional inspection process. They’ll describe what they’re noticing and address any concerns.

3) Recommend

From there, we'll discuss how we can get your bike back up to speed with a service package, on-the-spot adjustments, or replacement parts. We’ll also create an itemized receipt to make sure you’re comfortable with repair costs before we get to work.

4) Fix it

Leave your bike with us, and we’ll handle the rest! You'll receive a call, email, and/or text when your repairs have been completed, and we'll be sure to give you a call if anything pops up along the way. If your bike requires extensive service we can offer you a discounted rate on bike rentals.

Common Bike Service Questions

I don't live locally, can I ship my fork and/or shock to you for service?

Answer: Yes, you're responsible for shipping to and from our shop. Please include a return shipping label.

What brand suspension do you service?

We service RockShox, Fox, Ohlins, and Cannondale Lefty forks and suspension systems.

Is it mandatory that I stop everything and rush straight to the bike shop when my 50-hour service is due?

Answer: No, but you should schedule a service as soon as you can. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way, and with high end forks hovering around $1000, spending a fraction of that on an oil change is a worthwhile investment."  

If you have ridden your fork at the bike park all year long, it might be time for a full tear down of the damper cartridge and air spring assembly. The same goes for the rear shock!

Do you offer suspension tuning?

Answer: Yes, at First Stop Board Barn we offer Suspension Tuning, we know that the ride feel is one of the most important aspects of riding. In order to link turns into a perfect downhill flow, every aspect of your bike needs to be dialed in.

The same goes for the uphill, if you're suspension isn't functioning properly you'll be wasting valuable energy that'll slow you down and burn valuable energy over the duration of the ride.  Ask our experts how we can tune your front fork and/or rear suspension to achieve your riding goals. 

Do you offer emergency service?

Answer: Our ability to do emergency service may vary, depending on needed parts and the current work-load in our service center. Rush delivery of parts is available, however expedited shipping fees will be charged in addition.  

What brand bicycles do you service?

Short Answer: We service all brand bicycles.

Long Answer: We are an authorized Sram, Shimano, Bosch, Trek, Cannondale, and GT Bicycle Service center.

Do you service e-bikes?

We are an authorized Bosch e-bike service center. Bosch partners with some of the top brands in the bicycling industry.

I bought a bike online. Can you assemble it?

Yes, we can assemble your bike for you. Please call 802-422-9050 to check current availability.

What's the average turn-around time for bike service?

In general we try to service bikes with 3-5 business days. We do our best to service your bicycle in a timely manner. Sometimes part availability can delay the service.

Are walk-ins welcome? Or do I need to schedule my service?

Answer: Yes, walk-ins are welcome. Bring your bike in for a check up and our mechanics are often able to make minor adjustments within 24-48 hours.

More extensive services may require you to leave the bike for longer, especially if specific parts need to be ordered. Luckily, most parts are shipped from our east coast warehouse in 3-5 business days so we can get you back on your bike quickly. 

Are estimates free?

Answer: When you bring your bicycle to First Stop Board Barn for service we're always willing to provide a free estimate. Together, you will decide how to proceed with the repair.

Please keep in mind, while our service technicians will do their best to give you an accurate estimate upfront they sometimes will call you once they service has begun if they find other parts that may need to be replaced. 

When is payment due?

Answer: Our mechanic will call you when your bicycle is ready and you can either

A) In-store at time of pick up

-or-

B) Online or over the phone
