A suspicious noise on your bike? Gears skipping when approaching a hill, or unresponsive brakes? Don't panic: our mechanical repair shop welcomes you in the heart of the 13th arrondissement to give your bike a new lease of life.

At Routes & Roads, at 14 place de Rungis, we don't just sell or rent the best bikes. We are first and foremost a workshop of enthusiasts, ready to take care of your road companion, whether it's a city bike for your daily commute, a technical gravel bike, or an electric-assist bike (EAB).

Why choose the Routes & Roads workshop?

Our qualified professional mechanics handle all interventions, from a simple puncture to the most sophisticated maintenance:

Transparent diagnosis: We assess the condition of your bike with you and provide a clear quote before any intervention.
Multi-brand expertise: From derailleur adjustment to hydraulic disc brake bleeding, we master the latest components on the market.
Speed and reliability: Because your bike is often your primary mode of transport in Paris, we make it a point of honor to carry out repairs as quickly as possible.

Expert focus: What is a true bike service?

To avoid breakdowns in the middle of the urban jungle or deep in a forest, regular servicing (ideally once or twice a year) is essential. In the workshop, a complete service is not limited to a quick wipe. It includes several essential checkpoints:

Safety first (Braking): Checking brake pad or shoe wear, cable tension, and caliper centering for powerful and progressive braking.
Smoothness (Transmission): Checking chain stretch (to avoid premature cassette wear), lubrication, and precise derailleur adjustment.
Stability (Wheels and peripherals): Checking spoke tension (truing if necessary), tire inspection (pressure and cuts), and torque tightening of all safety screws (stem, handlebars, saddle).

💡 Workshop tip: The winning combo to extend your bike's life

Here's a simple mechanical eco-friendly tip you can do at home in 5 minutes to space out your workshop visits: never over-lubricate your chain!

The classic mistake: Putting oil on a dirty chain, thinking you're doing good. The oil will act like a magnet with Paris dust and path sand, creating an abrasive black paste that eats away at your cogs at high speed.

The right method: First, wipe the chain with a dry cloth to remove most of the dirt. Then apply only one drop of lubricant per link, turn the crankset, then be sure to wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. Your chain should be greasy on the inside of the rollers, but dry on the outside!
