I'm Nick, a Senior Mechanical Engineering Consultant (my LinkedIn is at the bottom of the page). As well as designing mountain bike tools and accessories, I lead the design of life-saving medical devices at one of the UK's leading and longest established design consultancies. My passion for engineering and design is as genuine as my passion for riding. Speaking of which, I've been obsessed with bikes since childhood. From trials bikes and BMX’s to racing Enduro. I'm happiest when I’m riding with friends in the Surrey Hills.
Maintain MTB started many years ago when I was struggling to service my suspension between races because I couldn’t buy the correct vice blocks to work on my damper. I designed my own vice blocks and made them on my industrial 3D printer, which I had recently designed and built. I thought, if I struggled to find fairly priced suspension servicing tools, surely others are struggling to find them to, and the eBay store was formed.
Since starting Maintain MTB, I have reinvested heavily into manufacturing so that I can produce ultra robust, high-quality parts here in the UK at a low cost. A mix that most would have you believe is impossible.
I am here to serve you. Primarily with great products, but I'm also incredibly responsive on social media, and it's never a bot or AI, it's me, and I'm genuinely interested in helping you. Don't be afraid to ask for something custom either. I love an engineering challenge and I've fulfilled many custom orders over the years - so if you can't see what you're after in the catalogue, drop me a message on Instagram!
