Fixed prices, no surprises

Brake pad replacement is €24,00 per side, on top of the €45,00 service visit at your door (maintenance check included). A hydraulic brake bleed (Cowboy C4/Cruiser among others) is €30,00 per side. Not sure what your bike needs? The mechanic assesses on the spot and you only pay for work actually done.

Which brands

Cowboy (every generation - Tektro and SunRace), the Tenways CGO series, VanMoof (Hayes on S2/X2/S3/X3, Avid Elixir on S5/A5), Veloretti, and the 28-inch brands Gazelle, Cube, Giant, Trek and Kalkhoff (Shimano B05S). The right pads are already on board the mobile workshop.

When to replace

Brake pads wear out every 1,000-1,500 km - faster in Amsterdam stop-and-go traffic. Squeaking, longer stopping distance or a metallic sound means it is time. We check both brakes at every appointment anyway.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a brake pad replacement at home take?

About 15-20 minutes per side, including adjustment and a test ride.

What if I am not sure it is the pads?

Pick "not sure" when booking - the mechanic determines on the spot whether it is pads, rotor or a bleed, and you only pay for what is actually done.
