testimonials

Amazing experience. I brought in my recently bought Canyon road bike for a pdi check and Jake managed to get everything done in a very short notice, including changing crank arms and improving the brakes bite. Super professional and friendly, plus the place is really cool ! Cannot recommend it enough!

- Eduardo

At Silk Cycles you will find friendly, honest and unbiased service. Jake & Laurie are amazing mechanics- they are so knowledgeable about all types of bike and clearly love all things cycling. The shop is a delight to visit, and you can tell that care and attention goes into everything they do.

- Sam

Excellent service through and through, their collection and drop off service was exactly what I needed due to it being infeasible for me to get to them during their opening hours. I just needed my brakes bleeding, but Jake went above and beyond and checked over the whole bike for safety and let me know of what I would need to look at repairing in the future.

- Jack

Jake is an absolute top chap and even better bike mechanic! I would highly reccomend Silk Cyles to anyone. I had issues with my integrated cockpit and Jake meticulously spent the time in diagnosing the problem and resolving the issue. He really went above and beyond
