MTB Mechanic Derby, TAS!
Metal MTB Garage is run by Ben, a bike mechanic based in Branxholm, less than a 10-min drive away from the world-famous Blue Derby Mountain Bike trails.
Ben is a highly experienced MTB mechanic and Metal MTB Garage offers a full suite of service options from a basic tune up, gold level service to advanced repairs.
Metal MTB Garage offers a fly in / fly out service if you arrive in Derby with your bike boxed. You can relax while your bike is unboxed and built up, ready for you to explore Derby by the next day. Once you are finished riding, you can sit back while your bike is washed and packed up for your journey home.
Metal MTB Garage also offers a wide variety of spare parts for hire if the unfortunate happens, and you want to get back on your bike as soon as possible.

I am also happy to service or repair any other kind of bikes, not just mountain bikes.

About Our MTB Garage
I, Ben, have been riding, working on and living for bikes since I was sixteen. I looked at various locations in Tasmania where a mechanic was needed the most. After living in Derby for six months, a great location in Branxholm came up for me to open a workshop, where I could run it as I wanted to. The North East area was also in need of someone to do suspension servicing and repairs. I always pride myself on attention to detail and bike setup to give the rider the best experience on their bike.

Kenzo Mbie27/07/2025 There’s simply no one better to work on any part of your bike than Ben. You wouldn’t think it possible… but even snipping a zip tie is done with super attention to detail. Just had a bike film wrapped and built and I just cannot find a fault. Dropper cable outer measured and cut for my preferred seat height. Hoses cut and aligned perfectly. It is like a magazine cover. Suspension setup, brakes and drivetrain is superb. Did I mention… there’s simply no one better to work on your bike? Google needs a six star option. Five isn’t enough. Jono Clark16/07/2025 Ben helped with some repairs needed before my bike was rideable again. Knowledgeable, helpful, great communication. 100% recommend Ben to any one who needs a good bike mechanic out Derby way. Really fair on price too. Steven Paine13/06/2025 Exceeded expectations 👌.

He was the mechanic for a team that toured Europe and America a few years ago for downhill. Simon Royce02/02/2025 Great service. Great staff. Jon Ennever15/12/2024 Ben is an absolute legend. I phoned him at 17.15 with a doozie of a problem and he went out of his way to help. He hung back and spent 30 minutes trying to think of a way to help. In the end there wasn't an option, but he was amazingly generous with his time, highly recommended. Andrew C02/11/2024 Great service, highly recommended. Ali Oakes19/05/2024 Ben was so helpful, squeezing me in to fit a new front fork, picking up other damages to my bike and fixing them. He serviced my rear shock and really talked me through everything he did. Super friendly, great service and a top mechanic.
