Bicycle Assembly
We Set Every Bike Up the Right Way. At Flat Tire Co., bikes aren’t finished when they’re assembled — they’re finished when they’re properly set up. Assembly makes a bike safe. Setup makes a bike ride right.
BASIC
Safe. Professional. Straightforward.
This option is ideal if you simply need the bike built safely.
- $100 — BASIC BIKES: Kids bikes, hybrids, fitness bikes, simple hardtails.
Includes:
- Professional assembly to manufacturer specifications
- Safety check and torque verification
- Brake and shifting adjustment
COMPLEX
For Bikes That Take More Time
Best for: E-bikes, time trial / triathlon bikes, internally routed frames, and higher-complexity builds.
Includes:
- Everything in Basic Assembly
- Additional labor for wiring, routing, and complex components
✔ Safe
✔ Properly built
✖ No fit
✖ No suspension setup
✖ No follow-up tune-up
This is where most riders start asking: “Should I just get it set up properly?”
