alt="Steve Parrish is The Dirt Dart" border="0"></div>

<p>Steve Parrish knew he wasn't a regular kid.  When he was seven years old he was fixing all the neighborhood kids bikes.  His first bicycle makeover wasn't very pretty.  He pounded conduit pipes to his forks, extending them so they looked like Harley Choppers.  He was making BMX style bikes before you could buy them.  Bicycles were Steve's passion and he spent all his time and whatever resources he had to make the perfect bike. </p>

<p>When Steve grew up his passion led him to work in a bike shop.  But the desire to work outside, away from the stale atmosphere of a bike shop soon led him away.  In 1995, with two tires in his garage he started his own business and became The Dirt Dart.  He originally thought he would just be fixing bicycles at races.  Little did he know the demand for house calls would be so high!  </p>

<p>Now Steve brings not just his passion, but his expertise and professionalism to people all over the treasure valley.</p>]]>

<p><h4><a name="tuneup"></a>Complete Tuneup &#8212; $65</h4></p>

<p>If you're riding a lot throughout the season, you may need more than one tune up per year to ensure your bike rides safely and efficiently. Think of it like an oil change for your car: 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first. Same with your bike, the harder and more often you ride, the sooner you'll need another tune up.</p>

<p> - Complete bike wash and inspection.<br />
 - Wheel truing.<br />
 - Brake adjustment.<br />
 - Derailleur adjustment.<br />
 - Headset and bottom bracket adjustment, if necessary.<br />
 - Lube cables, chain and derailleurs.<br />
 - We test ride your bike to make sure that it's perfect.<br />
 - Additional parts are extra.<br />
<!-- - <a href="group_discounts.shtml">Click here for group discounts.</a> --></p>

<p><h4><a name="inspection"></a>Bike Inspection &#8212; $35</h4></p>

<p>This is the minimum you should do annually. We'll make sure your bicycle is riding safely and smoothly. </p>

<p> - Quick bike wash and inspection.<br />
 - Brake adjustment.<br />
 - Derailleur adjustment.<br />
 - Lube chain and derailleurs.<br />
 - We test ride your bike to make sure that it's perfect.<br />
 - Additional parts are extra.</p>

<p><h4><a name="flat"></a>Flat Repair &#8212; $8</h4></p>

<p>The labor for changing a flat tube is $6.  We have several tube options available for better levels of flat protection.   You can choose from the following:</p>

<p> - Standard tube &#8212; $4<br />
 - Standard tube w/ Slime &#8212; $10<br />
 - Thorn resistant tube (much thicker rubber) &#8212; $10<br />
 - Thorn resistant tube w/ Slime &#8212; $14<br />
 - Lightweight presta valve tube &#8212; $6</p>

<p><h4><a name="overhaul"></a>Complete Overhaul &#8212; $175</h4></p>

<p>If your ride hard, or have neglected your bike, the overhaul will get your bike back into shape. When we're done, you may not recognize your old bike! And that might be a good thing! </p>

<p> - A <a href="#tuneup">Complete Tuneup</a> plus... <br />
 - Clean, repack & adjust bearings in hubs, headset and bottom bracket.<br />
 - New shift and brake cables (4 total).<br />
 - We test ride your bike to make sure that it's perfect.</p>
