Free Diagnostic Check
A structured inspection of brakes, gears, wheels, and frame before any repair is priced or started. No obligation attached.
Bicycle repair, Innsbruck
Same-day tune-ups, built around how commuters actually use their bikes.
Xitice Tuxihu is a repair workshop for people who ride to work, to school, or to the train station every day. Before any wrench touches your bike, we run a free diagnostic check so you know exactly what needs attention and what can wait.
Why we start with a diagnostic
A quiet bike is a reliable bike. A noisy one is telling you something.
Most commuter bikes do not fail all at once. Cables stretch gradually, brake pads wear unevenly, and chains elongate millimetre by millimetre until shifting becomes vague. A tune-up that skips the inspection step often replaces parts that were fine, while missing the one adjustment that actually caused the noise.
That is why every job at our workshop begins with a structured, no-charge inspection. We check the drivetrain, brakes, wheels, headset, and contact points, then talk you through what we found before any repair work starts. You decide what gets done.
What we handle
Repairs sized for how far you ride and how much time you have.
Same-Day Tune-Up
Cable tension, gear indexing, brake alignment, and a drivetrain clean, scheduled around commuting hours where possible.
Brake & Gear Adjustment
Correcting cable stretch and pad wear so braking distance and shifting response stay predictable in traffic.
Wheel Truing & Flat Repair
Spoke tension checks, wheel truing, tube and tyre replacement, and puncture-resistant options for wet-weather routes.
E-Bike Basic Checks
Battery contact inspection, motor mount tightness, and drivetrain wear assessment for pedal-assist commuter bikes.
Before any work begins
How the free diagnostic check actually works
The process is designed to take the guesswork out of bicycle repair, especially for people who rely on their bike daily and cannot afford surprises.
-
01
Drop off or wait
Bring the bike in during opening hours. For most commuter tune-ups, the inspection itself takes fifteen to twenty minutes, so waiting is often possible.
-
02
Structured inspection
A mechanic checks braking surfaces, cable condition, drivetrain wear, wheel trueness, headset play, and tyre condition against a written checklist.
-
03
Explanation, not a sales pitch
You get a plain explanation of what was found, what it affects, and roughly how long each fix would take. No repair starts without this conversation.
-
04
You choose the scope
Some riders want everything addressed at once. Others prioritise safety items first and postpone cosmetic wear. Both are reasonable choices.

Scope of work
What a same-day commuter tune-up typically covers
Not every bike needs every item below. The diagnostic check determines which of these apply before anything is confirmed.
- Gear indexing. Adjusting derailleur limits so each shift lands cleanly on the intended cog.
- Brake pad inspection. Checking wear depth and alignment on rim or disc brakes.
- Chain wear measurement. Using a gauge to catch elongation before it damages the cassette.
- Tyre pressure and tread check. Matching pressure to rider weight and typical road surfaces.
- Wheel trueness. Spinning each wheel to spot lateral wobble from spoke tension loss.
- Headset and bearing play. Testing for looseness that affects steering precision.
- Cable and housing condition. Looking for fraying, corrosion, or kinks that affect braking feel.
- Lights and reflector check. Confirming mounts are secure for early morning or evening commutes.

Common questions
Understanding the process before you book
These answers cover the questions we hear most from commuters who have not used a repair workshop before.
Is the diagnostic check really free?
Yes. The inspection carries no charge and no obligation to proceed. It exists so you can make an informed decision about repairs before committing to anything.
Can same-day service always be arranged?
Same-day turnaround is common for standard tune-ups and adjustments, though it depends on current workshop load and parts availability. Requesting a quote in advance helps with planning drop-off timing.
Do you work on e-bikes?
Basic mechanical and battery-contact checks are available for pedal-assist commuter bikes. Motor or battery cell repairs typically fall outside general workshop scope and may be referred to a specialist.
What happens if the diagnostic finds nothing?
Sometimes a noise turns out to be a loose bottle cage or a rattling pump mount. If no repair is needed, we tell you that directly rather than inventing work.
Do I need to book ahead?
Booking ahead through the quote request form helps us plan the day, though walk-ins are considered depending on current capacity.
Ready to have your commuter bike looked at?
Start with a quote request describing your bike and the issue you have noticed. The diagnostic check happens on arrival, before any repair is confirmed.
