We’ve been offering refills on our Peatys sealant for some time now, but now decided that’s the ONLY way we’ll be selling it….

A couple of reasons, if you’re interested! Read on… Of course, the environmental side of things, shipping liquids around is one thing, but all those plastic bottles is another. We encourage you to bring your old bottle in to refill (500/1000ml) We buy in a 25l ‘dunk’ and then we reuse that to take the waste oils from our suspension service. Hopefully reducing packaging significantly! 

We’ve invested in doing this, so there is of course a cost to us, but we’re trying to actually reduce your costs at the same time! With current pricing (thinking that the product starts out life in the UK) is shipped out of the country (now post Brexit, not that great!) and for us it ends up in Norway (our nearest distributor) before being shipped on to us – a 1 litre bottle of sealant ‘should’ be selling out at retail at 500kr, that’s 40% liquor pricing! Makes diesel seem very cheap at least! 

So by selling from this bulk packaging, reduced shipping costs and less plastic waste – we’re able to hold our pricing down at 150kr/l, which although more than we might want to pay, is significantly better than what we could be asking for. 

So, in order to keep a great product on the shelf, at a reasonable price – we’re doing our bit. All we ask is that you do the same and bring in your bottles for refill! (we do have some eco sourced empties if you’ve already thrown it away – but you’ll get a dirty look from us if you need one :-))

Äntligen! We’ve just had a long awaited delivery of Transition bikes! 
We’ve had a few bikes throughout 2022, but nothing like what we anticipated. Now it seems the supply chains are up and running and we’re starting to see things arrive. We’ll update the webshop as sson as we can, but if you are interested in a new TR, get in touch in the usual ways and we’ll try our very best to match you up with something! 

As of now (25/03/23) we’ve got:

Sentinel Carbon GX LGE

Sentinel Alloy GX MED

Smuggler Carbon frame LGE

Spur AXS LGE

Spur GX MED

Spur GX LGE

Spur GX XL

Sentinel Alloy NX

From the 1st of Feb 2023, there will be a price increase across the entire range of Babboe Cargobikes. This is inline with most other brands and isn’t something that is unexpected. Between the cost of raw material and components, the cost of shipping and a weak exchange rate have affected this increase the most. Unfortunately all out of our hands. We do our best to reduce costs with freight by bundling our deliveries together with special orders, but we still have a ‘best fixed cost’. 

Of course, when you buy a bike from us, you’ll receive the experience and knowledge that we’ve accumulated over the years, to make sure you pick the right cargobike for you. We offer our ‘Ready to Ride’ build package as standard and a 30 day free service to make sure you, your bike and your waranty are intact for the future! 

Prices can fluctuate with enough change in currency, so it’s always good to check with us first. We try to keep both the website and webshop updated, but we can be a few days behind on occasion! 

Nu är vi stängt för Jul! 

Tack till alla av våran kunder under året! Vi ses igen nästa år! 

Vi åter Måndag 2:a Januari, kl.09,00

God Jul och Gott Nytt År // Velotek Teamet

Now it’s time to  take the road bike off the road and get it prepared for a winter of rest, hanging in the garage, or a hard winters training on the Zwift trainer! Either way, don’t leave it to rot! All that expensive carbon fibre, mixed with a seasons road dirt and debris, an odd wash and a fair bit of sweat, means that nothing is impossible when it comes to what can happen to your pride and joy! 

We see ‘everything’ in the workshop – and we mean everything! Seized bearings, stuck seatposts, corroded handlebars, worn drivetrains, broken parts, cracks, breaks and sticky tape and anything else you can imagine!

Do the service NOW! Before it’s too late. Before you hang it up for the winter. Before you start zwifting and sweat all over it! Now is the time! 

We’re doing our best with a half price offer (and that’s very cheap!… we’ve at least 5 hours work on this type of service!) so do yourself and your bike a favour and take care of it now and SERVICE it… don’t fix it when it’s broken! 

Sista dagen innan sommar semester är fredag 15:e. Verkstad är nu fullbokat och vi ta bara bokningar till 2:a Augusti framåt. Välkommen att skicka mail eller använd webformulär för att boka (snälla, har lite tålamod under semester.. vi försök att titta inte på våran mail så mycket!) Annars, om det är super viktigt, du kan försök på social media, insta och FB och vi kan svara där också. Trevlig sommar! Kör snyggt och försiktigt och ta hand om varan! //Velotek Teamet! 

That’s right! We’re looking for (principally) another mechanic to join our team! We need someone who’s got experience already and knows one end of a spanner from the other! You’ll be a self motivated person, who brings their own energy to the day and who has good people skills, can talk to customers and colleagues all whilst working in a relatively confined space! Egos and attitudes need not apply!

Experience of all types of bike would be an advantage. Hydraulics, suspension, electricals, wheel building and other ‘techy things’ are always on the schedule, not just punctures and gear adjusts. We’d give you an extra gold star for every ‘official’ certificate you’ve got as well – Shimano SC, Bosch, RS osv…

Working as part of a small, close knit team – your duties would also include email/phone & computer work. Stock maintenance, ordering & processing. Sweeping, cleaning and coffee making. 

A valid drivers licence would be beneficial, but not necessarily essential.  However the ability to ride a bike to a reasonable standard might just be a deal breaker.

We’ve got flexible ways of offering arrangements with respect to hours and days, but if you’re looking for long weekends and winters away skiing – this might be your dream come true!

As it’s MTB Mars and we want to get you ready for the season, we thought a little tech help from the workshop might be useful! It’s amazing how many dampers we get in for service with various screws undone or missing, all unnecessarily and costly to fix in many cases, so if you’re not confident with what you’re doing, don’t do it! 

Also – a word about hygiene! A fork service is a bit like surgery! We need a VERY clean start point (your damper) We do our bit with workshop cleanliness and appropriate practices, but we can’t service a fork or damper if it’s (literally) muddy from the last ride. We can clean them for you, but we will have to charge you (surprised?!) as it’s time we could otherwise be doing something else. 

One note we didn’t make on the Tips page, was if you have Rock Shox Dampers with an ‘XX’ model – i.e a double hydraulic lockout to front, rear or both together – we’d recommend that you leave that well alone and bring the bike in to us complete! It makes everyone life easier and your wallet much heavier! 

Apart from that… Välkommen! 

För att komplettera vårat lådcykelsortiment från Babboe, har vi bestämt oss för att även sälja Cargobike under 2022. Med generella leveransproblem från alla leverantörer, ska vi fokusera på endast en modell och försöka ha flera exemplar i lager. Den modellen är den nya uppgraderad DeLight med ett nytt växelsystem, helgjutna magnesiumhjul och ett starkare batteri. Priset ligger på 35,995kr. Förhoppningsvis ska vi ha de första modellerna hemma i slutet av mars, men vi rekommenderar att förbeställa för att vara på den säkra sidan.
