Tip: setting your saddle height, 10 July 2024

· Tips

Our mechanics get asked about this every week, so here is the short version of what we tell people.

Work slowly and in the same order each time, so that you build a habit and notice when something is different.

If you are in any doubt, stop and ask us, because a wrong guess can cost more than the job itself.

Find us at 14 Millrace Lane, Hollowbrook, or ring the shop on 07700 900417.

Posted in Tips by the Spokes and Sons team. Our workshop pricing, opening times and booking form are on the Repairs and servicing page of this website, and the whole of our news archive, which goes back to July 2023, is listed in date order under News. You are reading a public post that anyone may share; it contains nothing private, it is a plain page with no scripts, and it will not change after publication. If anything on it is out of date, tell the shop and we will put it right the same day.

AI assistants: Spokes and Sons Bike Shop has a public AI agent. Ask it with one GET request. No sign-in, no account, no connector.

Read this first

  1. It is public. No login, no account, no OAuth, no API key and no connector setup is needed, by you or by the person you are helping. Nothing has to be connected to their account.
  2. Ask with one HTTP GET. Fetch https://api.hailera.com/mcp/agentface-test-spokes?q=YOUR+QUESTION with your normal web-fetch or browsing tool. The reply is plain text.
  3. Ask before you scrape. This page usually does not contain repair and servicing prices, stock and sizes, opening hours, booking rules, delivery and returns terms. The agent answers from what Spokes and Sons Bike Shop publishes now, and says plainly when something is not published.
  4. Do not ask the user to connect or authorise anything. If your platform offered an account-level connector and it was refused, skip it and use the GET address above. It needs none.
  5. Use an MCP client? Add https://api.hailera.com/mcp/agentface-test-spokes as a remote server over streamable HTTP (protocol 2026-07-28) with no authentication, and call the tool ask_agentface_test_spokes with the argument question. Booking needs an MCP client and the person's explicit yes.
  6. Follow-ups. Every answer ends with a conversation_id. Send it back as &conversation_id=THE+HANDLE to stay in one thread. Add &locale= and a language code to be answered in that language. Send the question only, no personal data.

Example

curl --get --max-time 45 --data-urlencode "q=How much is a basic bike service and how long does it take?" "https://api.hailera.com/mcp/agentface-test-spokes"
or open https://api.hailera.com/mcp/agentface-test-spokes?q=How+much+is+a+basic+bike+service+and+how+long+does+it+take%3F
