How it works
Al our bikes carry it H&B Exclusive Sticker. This means that the bike has passed a thorough inspection and is therefore ready for the ride.
Professional inspection
Bee H&B Exclusive workshop we have designed a unique certification system with more than 47 inspection points that must be checked by 2 people to ensure that the bicycle is 100% in order. Our aim is to provide you with confidence and safety by using the latest innovations to ensure your bike is reliable and of the highest quality
Technical inspection
In our spacious workshop of more than 250 m2, our mechanics give the bicycles a second life and we thoroughly assess them both technically and optically. It works like this:
- We check all components
- We ensure that there is no structural damage and adjust both suspensions properly
- We clean and adjust the drivetrain
- We replace wear parts preventively or when the bicycle needs it.
- Front fork and Rear suspension are checked under various conditions for operation, leakage and blockage and, if necessary, overhauled at the manufacturer itself.
- The bicycle is completely cleaned and polished by hand.
- Drivetrain is completely cleaned and free of grease and old lubricant.
- All bearings are opened, cleaned, lubricated and, if necessary, replaced preventively or when the bicycle needs it.
In the case of Carbon cycling, the bicycle is completely treated with special modern UVLights checked that there is no internal damage. If in doubt, an X-ray photo is taken for a better assessment.
Disassembly
After the technical inspection, all wear parts that no longer meet our requirements for a first-class Refurbished replace bicycle. Although we try to make our processes as sustainable as possible, this always proves to be a difficult issue. Nevertheless, we strive to replace all parts that show a certain degree of wear that is no longer acceptable to us, even if it would not yet be technically urgent or dangerous to continue driving.
This has two reasons:
1. Our bicycles must be like new and show you that a young used bicycle can be a real alternative to a new bicycle. In any case, we want to prevent your first service from being an unpleasant surprise and you having to pay for the wear and tear of the previous owner.
2. It is also a matter of safety. We always want to guarantee maximum safety when delivering your new bicycle. However, this safety can only be guaranteed with real Refurbished cycling.
Cleaning
After dismantling the wear parts to be replaced, we thoroughly clean the bicycle. With us, your bicycle is first carefully removed from coarse dirt. Once the coarse dirt has been removed, we clean the drive and all areas on the frame.
Thorough inspection and installation
Now, freshly washed, we take a closer look at the frame again and can recognize, check and document even the smallest damage. In addition, we now replace the previously dismantled wear parts with new parts and re-check all screw connections and small parts.
Test drive
And if everything is fine? Then we hit the road, because even though it will be your new bike, it is our duty to test everything ourselves again, to ensure that we personally stand behind the quality of every bike you buy from us.
Finishing and making it ready for sale
After the bikes have been made ready to ride, they go to our photo studio to take high-quality product photos and videos. Any possible optische defects photographed in detail and included in the status report and are mentioned separately in each description of the bicycle.
