Good people. Good workshop.

Behind every service, rebuild and last-minute pre-weekend repair is a team that genuinely rides and works on these bikes every day.

This is Oscar. He's one of the reasons your suspension feels mint and your bike doesn't rattle on the descents.

We know it’s important to have a workshop you trust and people you feel comfortable talking bikes with.

One thing we hear from riders all the time is frustration around long wait times for servicing and repairs.

Keeping turnaround times moving is a huge focus for us.

The quicker bikes are assessed, serviced and back out the door, the quicker people are back riding, especially heading into busy weekends and events.

A lot of riders also don’t realise how much work gets outsourced in the industry. One thing that’s important to us is continuing to build strong in-house workshop capability, including suspension servicing and rebuilds.

Just good workshop work, straightforward communication and keeping riders rolling.

We keep you riding.

What’s staying the same.

A rider focused workshop, good people, quick turnaround and a place people feel comfortable dropping into, whether it’s for a service, advice or just a chat about bikes.

Thanks again for all the support so far.

New Owners. Workshop-first as always.

A few months into the new chapter at Chain Brain and we’ve realised there are still plenty of riders who haven’t heard the news yet.

Chain Brain is now owned by familiar faces Oscar and Ben, together with long-time customers Cam, Dave and Emil. Riders who genuinely care about the local riding community and the workshop that’s been built here over the years.

Our focus is expert servicing, fast turnaround and keeping people riding.

That means continuing to invest in the workshop side of the business, including in-house suspension servicing and rebuilds, experienced techs and straightforward advice you can trust.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the shop so far. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead.

We keep you riding.
