Turnaround
Most work (around 95%) is turned around in 5 to 7 days. We text your quote within that time, before any work starts.
Same day, if you're in by noon

Read the full reviewGear Bikes is the only bike shop in town I trust enough to leave my bike in for checks and repairs. Over years Joe has proven his professional and detailed approach to any issue I've raised with him regarding my bike, making sure it all works to the best standards. This certainty of high service provision have actually helped me overcome my fear from getting back into cycling after a serious bike accident. Making sure that my bike is working properly puts me at ease and Joe was able to build that trust and certainly.
The service is always timely and well priced. Joe and the rest of the team are always nice and friendly. I can't recommend enough the Gear Bike shop as the to go bike shop in Glasgow.
“Fast and friendly service from Joe and staff, and fairly priced as well.”
“They offer a friendly, fast, high quality service at very reasonable prices.”
“Outstanding service from a very personable company. First contacted them about a small brake repair, they asked me to bring it in to see what was needed, they had the parts in stock and had me on my way again in 40 minutes.”

First contacted them about a small brake repair, they asked me to bring it in to see what was needed, they had the parts in stock and had me on my way again in 40 minutes.
I won't go anywhere else now. They've done everything for me from a chain replacement to a full E bike service and just a few weeks ago did a complete custom build on a new dirt jumper for my son.
Quick turn around, decent prices , friendly and genuinely honest guys who are all cyclists themselves and love what they do.
A wee gem in the city.
“We would absolutely recommend Gear Bikes. Joe couldn't have done more to get my son back on his bike. Fantastic service, always kept in touch and the price was very reasonable. Happy customers. We will definitely be back 👌”
“I've used Gear for several years now and always get an excellent service on my bikes! Friendly and helpful. Recently got my Boardman CX serviced with new chain, cassette, chainring and it feels good and running smoothly.”
Read the full reviewI've used Gear for several years now and always get an excellent service on my bikes! Friendly and helpful. Recently got my Boardman CX serviced with new chain, cassette, chainring and it feels good and running smoothly. About to go out on it now! Like how you can usually easily drop your bike in, get a quote in a day or so and get the bike back in about a week approx. Excellent service, would highly recommend! 🚴😀👌
