What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Performance Bike Mechanic, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Performance Bike Mechanic, you need in-depth knowledge of bicycle mechanics, repair techniques, and a strong understanding of high-performance cycling components, often gained through formal training or certification. Familiarity with specialized tools, diagnostic equipment, and systems like Shimano Di2 or SRAM eTap electronic shifting is typically required.

These competencies are crucial to ensure bikes are safe, optimally tuned, and meet the high expectations of performance cyclists.

What is a Performance Bike?

A performance bike is a type of bicycle specifically designed for speed, agility, and efficiency, often used in racing or fast-paced riding. These bikes are usually lightweight, have aerodynamic frames, and feature high-quality components that enhance performance. Common types include road bikes, time trial bikes, and some mountain bikes tailored for competitive use. Performance bikes are ideal for enthusiasts and athletes looking to maximize their cycling experience. They are not typically designed for casual or recreational riding due to their specialized features.

Industry UsageProduct focus, cycling performance, salesRepair, maintenance, technical expertise

Performance Bike refers to high-performance bicycles designed for racing or serious cycling, often sold in retail stores. Bicycle Mechanics specialize in repairing and maintaining bikes, including performance models. While both roles require technical knowledge, Performance Bike is a product category, whereas Bicycle Mechanics are skilled professionals working on bikes. Understanding these differences helps customers find the right expertise or product for their cycling needs.

Balancing quick turnaround times with maintaining quality workmanship is essential, especially when dealing with high-end performance bikes. Additionally, effective communication with both customers and sales staff is crucial to ensure that repairs meet customer expectations and support overall store operations.

Full-time

Job description

Join Our Team

We're looking for an experienced bicycle mechanic who takes pride in doing exceptional work. If you enjoy solving mechanical problems, building beautiful wheels, restoring older bikes, and continually improving your skills, we'd love to meet you.

We believe great mechanics deserve great tools, ongoing education, and a workplace where quality always comes before speed.

What You'll Do

As one of our professional mechanics, your responsibilities will include:

  • Complete bicycle repair and maintenance
  • Precision wheel building and truing
  • Internal gear hub service
  • Custom bicycle builds
  • New bicycle assembly
  • Light suspension work (rear air can, fork lower leg service and seal replacement)
  • Service writing and customer communication
  • Diagnosing mechanical issues and recommending the best repair solutions

Our Philosophy

We repair bikes the right way.

We believe in craftsmanship, attention to detail, and helping customers keep quality bicycles on the road for years to come. We encourage repairing rather than replacing whenever it makes sense.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Takes pride in neat, organized work.
  • Enjoys learning and expanding their skills.
  • Isn't afraid to ask questions or consult service manuals.
  • Appreciates established repair procedures while contributing ideas of their own.
  • Cares about the environment by minimizing waste and properly recycling materials.
  • Wants to become one of the best mechanics in the industry.

You'll also have the opportunity to learn advanced shop skills, including lathe operation and custom fabrication.

Continuing Education

The bicycle industry changes constantly and we believe great mechanics never stop learning.

We ask our mechanics to dedicate approximately two hours each week to professional development through reading assignments and industry training such as Shimano S-TEC, SRAM STU, and other technical resources. Mechanics who continue to expand their knowledge position themselves for greater responsibility and higher earning potential.

We expect every mechanic to stay current with industry technology through regular professional development. Mechanics who continually build their skills have the opportunity to earn higher wages and take on more advanced work.

Shop Responsibilities

Everyone helps keep the shop running smoothly. Duties include:

  • Keeping your workbench clean and organized
  • Cleaning shared work areas as needed
  • Restocking lubricants, bearings, cables, ferrules, and shop supplies
  • Laundry for shop towels
  • Maintaining the sink and restroom
  • Ordering shop supplies and replacement parts
  • Scheduling and confirming service appointments
  • Opening and closing the shop
  • Providing friendly, knowledgeable customer service

Benefits

We invest in our team.

  • Paid attendance at industry trade shows such as CABDA and MADE
  • Paid professional training and continuing education
  • Online technical training during the slower season
  • Employee wholesale pricing on parts and accessories
  • Employee pricing for gifts purchased for your immediate family
  • Friday lunch provided by the shop
  • Competitive wages that support a comfortable standard of living
  • A professional, respectful workplace where quality craftsmanship is valued
  • All employees share in the tip pool based on hours worked (usually $1000 per month!)

Who we’re looking for:

The ideal candidate has professional bicycle repair experience and enjoys working on everything from everyday commuters to high-end performance bikes. They value precision, honesty, and lifelong learning, and they enjoy being part of a team that takes pride in exceptional workmanship.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Company Description

Our shop specializes in professional bicycle repair, custom builds, and expert service for riders who value quality workmanship. We work on everything from everyday commuters to high-end road, mountain, cargo, and e-bikes, with a focus on repairing rather than replacing whenever possible. We believe in doing the job right the first time, using proven techniques, continual education, and meticulous attention to detail. Our goal is simple: keep great bikes on the road and provide honest, knowledgeable service that earns our customers' trust for years to come.
