Brake adjustment on a bicycle

What we do

Whether your brakes are squealing, rubbing, or just not stopping you properly, we'll diagnose the issue and fix it on the spot. We work on all brake types — rim brakes, mechanical disc brakes, and hydraulic disc brakes.

Brakes are the most safety-critical part of your bike. If something doesn't feel right, don't ride — get in touch and we'll come to you.

What's included

  • Brake alignment: Calliper and pad positioning for even contact
  • Cable tension: Adjust for responsive lever feel (mechanical brakes)
  • Pad inspection: Check wear and contamination, replace if needed
  • Rotor check: Straighten bent rotors, check for wear (disc brakes)
  • Lever adjustment: Set reach and bite point to your preference
  • Safety test: Confirm safe stopping before you ride

Pricing

Brake adjustment — from £15

Alignment, cable tension, lever feel check. Pad replacement extra if needed.

Hydraulic brake bleed — from £25 per brake

Restores lever feel and braking performance. Recommended annually or when brakes feel spongy.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my brakes squealing?

Squealing is usually caused by contaminated pads, glazed pads, or misalignment. We'll diagnose the cause and fix it — often a clean and realignment is all that's needed.

How often should I bleed hydraulic brakes?

Most manufacturers recommend annually, or sooner if the lever feels spongy or pulls to the bar. Regular bleeding keeps your brakes performing at their best.

Can you upgrade my brakes?

Yes. If your current brakes aren't up to the job, we can advise on and fit upgraded pads, rotors, or complete brake systems.

What our customers say

"Brakes are incredible now. Was genuinely scared going down into Endon before, now they bite properly. Should have got them done ages ago!"
