    An Everyday Repair Starts With Describing the Symptom

    Harbor Cycle Repair explains how an everyday bicycle repair begins: with the symptom and how the bike is used, before any work or parts are agreed.

    A squeaking brake, a chain that slips or a tyre that keeps losing air: an everyday repair at Harbor Cycle Repair starts with a description of the symptom and how the bicycle is used.

    Owen Mercer then assesses the condition and explains what work, parts and cost a repair would need. Nothing is repaired before that is clear. E-bike batteries and electronics, frame damage and specialised suspension work are outside the everyday service.

    There is no promise of free work, a fixed price or a set finishing date. The aim is to keep useful bicycles in use, while the trade work and parts still give a living.
