★ ★ ★ ★ ★ These guys are really nice and this is an excellent public service, but I was quite surprised to find that almost the entirety of their capability was limited to extremely low-end and vintage bicycles.
Here's a list of things that they aren't seemingly able to help with:
Integrated or tapered headsets; Pressfit bottom brackets; Hydraulic disk brakes; Suspension (linkages).
For those not in the know, if you walk into a bike shop today probably 90% of bikes on display will have almost all of those parts. To be clear, this is in no way a discredit to the people that work there -- but they simply don't have the tools for mid and high end bikes. And no doubt - these tools are very specific and rather expensive. But the fact that the Council and Mechanical Tempest (and whomever funds/donates money and time for these mechanics to work in Central Wellington) has gone this far, and yet with just a little more public funding could have the capability to service so much more, I find a little frustrating.
BikeSpace is the perfect way for people on a budget but with the desire to become closer to their bike, and I think the Council should consider its value in the broader context of Wellington's cycle infrastructure and cultue.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Super friendly, super informative - very patient with beginners! Went above and beyond to address a couple of issues that I hadn’t even noticed as well, guided step by step. You’ll come away with valuable knowledge on how to keep your bike running!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The volunteer not only sorted my problem, but took time to teach me. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Amazing free service funded by WCC.
