Need some mechanical work completed? Bike not feeling quite right? I can help!
Mechanical & Bike Fitting Services
Since moving to Houston in addition to cycling I have worked in various bike shops both as a mechanic and a fit specialist. I have completed vast amounts of professional training during this time so through Alkek Velodrome I can offer mechanical and fitting services. This is limited to track bikes only (There are plenty of good bike shops in town and I simply can't maintain a stock of all the tooling required to run a full service shop for all disciplines while being a program director also) I addition I provide basic tuition in track bike mechanics covering gear changes, cockpit swaps and basic maintenance. All proceeds go to supporting Alkek Velodrome.

Shoot me an email with what you need and I'll see if I can sort something out!
