📦 Important: Sending Items for Repair
I’m happy to receive items by post for repair, but please note:
🚨 I do not send repaired items back by post or wait for couriers to collect. 🚨
All repaired items must be collected in person at a mutually agreed time and date.
Before Sending Anything: Call Me First
To avoid wasted time and unnecessary misunderstandings, you must speak to me before sending anything. This ensures:
✅ I can confirm whether I can help with your repair.
✅ We agree on a time for you to collect your item once the work is completed.
✅ You include the correct details and instructions inside your package.
If I haven’t spoken to you first, please do not send anything to the workshop.

✔️ Your name
✔️ Your full address
✔️ Your phone number
✔️ Your email (if available)

🏆 A Short History of Colwood Wheel Works
Colwood Wheel Works has a long tradition of expert bicycle and motorcycle wheel repairs.
🛠️ Founded in 1959 by Edward Warner as Warner Cycles, the business started in a lock-up garage in Balham, South London.
🚴♂️ In 1961, Edward opened his first shop at 210 High Street, Colliers Wood. Over the years, the shop moved twice within Colliers Wood.
🔧 In 1986, the wheel-building side of the business became Colwood Wheel Works, specialising in high-quality motorcycle wheel repairs.
🏍️ In 1988, Edward closed the retail shop and focused exclusively on wheel building, operating from a workshop at his home in Carshalton, Surrey.
🕊️ After Edward’s passing in 2005, the business relocated to Hailsham, Sussex, where it continues today under the care of his son, Vince Warner.
🚲 Today, Colwood Wheel Works provides expert bicycle repairs and motorcycle wheel repairs to customers across Sussex and beyond.
