30-Minute Groupset Specialist Video Consultation

The smarter way to buy a groupset online: check the whole bike before buying the parts.

A groupset can look right on a product page and still need a different bottom bracket, freehub, rotor, brake hose, chainline, cassette range or frame routing. This 30-minute specialist video consultation helps you choose a compatible road, gravel or mountain-bike setup before you spend heavily.

What we cover in 30 minutes

• Your bike, frame and current drivetrain
• Road, gravel or MTB riding goals
• Mechanical versus electronic shifting
• Brake type, mounting and hose requirements
• Bottom bracket, crank, chainline and gearing
• Cassette, freehub and wheel compatibility
• Frame routing, battery and wireless requirements
• Shimano, SRAM or Campagnolo options
• Parts likely to be needed beyond the boxed groupset
• Bike Clinique supply, fitting and custom-build route

Prepare these before the call

Your bike make, model and year; photos of both sides of the bike; close-ups of the crank, cassette, brakes and rear wheel; any visible component model numbers; your preferred gearing; and your realistic parts budget.

What happens after checkout

1. Buy the consultation for £30.
2. Bike Clinique contacts you using the details on your order to arrange the video call.
3. Send the bike details and photos before the appointment.
4. During the call, we work through the compatibility checklist and narrow down the right upgrade route.
5. If you want Bike Clinique to supply or fit the groupset, we confirm availability and provide a separate quote before anything is ordered.

Important: this is specialist buying advice, not a remote safety inspection. Final parts and fitting prices depend on confirmed compatibility, distributor availability and, where necessary, workshop inspection.

Groupset consultation FAQs

Why have a groupset consultation before buying?

Groupsets are not universal. Compatibility depends on the frame, brake system, bottom bracket, freehub, wheel, chainline, gearing, routing and intended use. The consultation checks these points before money is spent on parts.

Which bikes does the consultation cover?

Road, gravel and mountain bikes, including mechanical and electronic Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo upgrade routes and complete custom builds.

What should I prepare for the call?

Have the bike make, model and year ready, plus clear photos of the drivetrain, brakes, crank, cassette, rear wheel and frame routing. Any current component model numbers, riding goals and budget are also useful.

Does the £30 consultation include a groupset or fitting?

No. The £30 covers a 30-minute specialist video consultation. Any groupset, extra components and workshop fitting are quoted separately after compatibility and availability have been checked.

Can Bike Clinique supply and fit the recommended groupset?

Yes, subject to distributor availability and a final quote. Bike Clinique can supply and fit compatible road, gravel and mountain-bike groupsets from its SW17 workshop.

How is the video consultation arranged?

After checkout, Bike Clinique contacts you using the details on the order to arrange the 30-minute video call.
