Who we are
The Workshop
Bike for Brains is a founder-run workshop based in the heart of the Forest of Dean, offering repairs, servicing, and warranty work for bikes and e-bikes. We pride ourselves on a bespoke, friendly approach with quick turnaround times. More than just a workshop, it's a space to hang out, relax, and enjoy a cuppa in a welcoming, laid-back environment. Give Adam a call or message to get booked in.

What we do
WORKSHOP SERVICES
From a quick fix to a full custom build, we handle it all in-house. MTB, road, e-bike — if it rolls, we work on it.
Bike Repairs
Mechanical faults, worn components — diagnosed and fixed properly, not just patched.
General Servicing
Full strip-down, clean, inspect and rebuild. Keep your bike running smooth and catch problems before they become expensive.
Parts Sourcing & Fitting
Need an upgrade or a replacement? We source the right parts and fit them correctly — no guesswork, no compatibility headaches.
Custom Builds
Built around you. We spec and assemble bespoke bikes from the ground up, whether you know exactly what you want or need guidance.
Wheel Truing
Buckled or out of true? We true wheels by hand for a straight, strong, reliable roll.
Suspension Servicing
Full strip, clean, re-lube and rebuild of forks and shocks. Restore that fresh-off-the-shelf feel and protect your investment.
Bespoke tuning
Bike SETUP sessions
Your bike should work with you, not against you. Our bike setup service dials in the areas that matter most—suspension, cockpit, controls, and tyre setup—to create a bike that's balanced, predictable, and ready for whatever the trail throws at it. The result? More grip, more confidence, more control, and a bike that's performing exactly as it should, so you can focus on riding your best.
Suspension Setup
Air pressure, sag, rebound and compression tuned to your weight and riding style.
Cockpit and controls
We prioritise getting you, comfortable, balanced and in tune with your bike. Small adjustment to the bars or your control set up can make a world of difference.
Full System Balance
Fork and shock working in harmony. We work with you on balance, building a base you can have confidence in.
We ride with you
We do all of the above on the trails, the best way to find out what really works for you.
