BC Bike Race
OUR PURPOSE AT BCBR
Our purpose at BC Bike Race is to help ensure that every bike is able to cross the finish line each day by providing professional tech services.
There are hundreds of different bike brands, each with thousands of proprietary parts so it can be extremely challenging to stock parts for every scenario. With over 18 year of servicing bikes at BCBR we have lots of experience in what parts to bring and how to best approach each situation. Even with our extensive parts inventory, bringing your own spare parts is the best way to ensure that your bike will make it across the finish line on day seven.
PLATINUM SERVICE PACKAGE AND A LA CARTE SERVICES
Platinum Service Package - This is our Pro level package: Rest easy knowing your bike is fully taken care of during race week. We will build your bike on registration day, wash, lube, and tune it daily. We finish each service with a hard test ride ensuring that your bike is race ready for each morning’s adventure. We also offer to store and transport your spare parts throughout race week so we have them on hand while servicing your bike in the middle of the night. Any additional parts that are required and not provided by the rider will be charged retail pricing.
A La Carte - If you'd prefer to service your bike on a case by case basis, that also works for us, just drop by and talk with one of our service writers who will access your bike to determine the scope of work and we'll have it done before race start the following day.

- Tubeless tire install
- Shifting adjustment
- Brake bleed
- Wheel true
