Precision-Crafted Servicing for Performance-Driven Cyclists
Trust your road or gravel bike repairs to Chainsmith in Sydney. Our appointment-only bike services reflect the highest standards of care, built on European values of craftsmanship, performance, and mechanical integrity.
- Includes : Every component is detailed and reinstalled during a strip and rebuild that requires up to 8 hours to complete.
- Details : After removing the components from the frame, each part is thoroughly checked, cleaned, replaced or repaired, lubed and reinstalled. The frame is cleaned and polishing protection is applied.
- Expect : Annually adding a Chainsmith Signature Overhaul will increase the longevity of parts. Any irregularities in parts or the frame will be found during a strip and rebuild. The detailing will magnify the precision of every component so that each works in unison and enhances the overall function of a bike. Included is a frame protection, as well as application of Secret Silca wax on the drivetrain. The end result is that you ride a dependable bike; smooth shifting, less fatigue and reduced rider exertion.
- Suitable for: A Signature Overhaul is for the discerning cyclist who aims to maintain their bike to the very best standards. It also may attract a rider who frequently rides and tends to wear through components, bearings, cables, chains more than most. A strip and rebuild is appropriate for either of these clients as an annual service.
Please note : To honour the precision of this service, and where parts are worn, incompatible, or lower-grade, we’ll advise tailored components. Without these adjustments, the final ride quality or mechanical integrity may be compromised. - Price: $550*: rim brakes, $650*: Disc brakes
*Please note: Ride quality depends on the condition and compatibility of your components. Where upgrades or replacements are recommended but declined, we cannot guarantee performance. Installations beyond the service outline incur additional fees.

I have had two different bikes serviced at Chainsmith and bought merchandise from their store. Mechanics are the most knowledgeable I have encountered and explained all work and parts required before they commenced.Completely fixed long running issues others had failed to identify. Finished on time and always phoned to let me know. Excellent service and friendly as well.
