Mechanical support for young rider Tom Townsend
martin wilkins • September 25, 2020
A young rider Cycle Tech UK has recently started to support.
Besides Basso Bikes, the team's other primary sponsor is Vredestein Tyres which is great, since he wears out tyres quite quickly too!
With road racing cancelled for 2020, Tom decided to make a concerted attack on the UK hill climb scene. He's now completed four events, with the highlight so far being 4th place on Porlock Toll Road - he averaged 402 watts for the 14'59'' that it took him to cover the 6.5km climb!
We've been preparing his Basso before each race and wish him every success as he heads to Whinlatter this Saturday, followed by Tan Hill on Sunday
We are here for greater things. Cycling is not about money, it’s having a proper interest in
life. Being fixated on making wealth is what will kill your bike business fast.
A reflection on 2025 — a positive year for the cycling season, quality bike repairs, e-Bike servicing, and the strength of local cycling communities across the UK.
Over time I’ve seen more walkers, which is ok - good for your health requiring only a pair of walking boots and that's about it. But where are the cyclists? Or should I say the increase in cycling numbers, especially with e-bikes?
The key to successful business; to deliver above and beyond customers expectations. We know this as aftercare. Our network established itself by offering a premium personal service.

Come along and take a free test ride on an electric bike. Guaranteed to make you smile.
Cycle Tech UK is advising cyclists to have a home visit when their new bike arrives to have it set up and explain how everything works. Cycle Tech UK also can arrange the fist service to make sure everything is running smooth, items like cables, crank bolts and steering require adjustments at 30 days.
It is very important to have your new bicycle built/set-up correctly, for safety reasons, for brakes and gears to work correctly/smoothly and to give you years of enjoyment.
Many bicycles are now brought on the Internet and are delivered in a box.
When looking for a bargain, it is likely these days that you will turn to eBay for a second-hand bike. While there are bargains to be had, when buying a second-hand bike, you need to be careful, because you may have a large repair bill to go with the bargain price. Even if the person is not intending to be dishonest, their idea of the perfect condition may mean clean but worn out. In recent weeks two of our repairers have given out bills of well over £100 to make a bike usable, even though they were described as "good as new".
