At MasterBike, we paint all aluminium and iron bicycle components. These components include frames, forks, mudguards, rims, handlebars, carriers, brackets, chain covers and baskets. The components are painted in two ways. Firstly, in two-layer painting, RAL or Pantone powder coating is applied to the components. Then, the second powder coating layer gives it an opaque or glossy effect.

The second painting method is three-layer coating. The difference between three-layer and two-layer coating is the extra layer between the two layers. This layer is a YS water-soluble colour, which, for the sake of precise application, is applied using a Stäubli robot. The first layer consists of polyester powder. These powders are supplied by top producers like Tiger, Axala or Pulvert. The second and the third layers may be polyester or polyurethane, depending on the customer’s requirements. These layers are supplied by Rembrandtin, Hodij and Tiger.

Applying decals under the opaque or glossy paints is an essential part of the painting process. The clients select the decal design according to their own preferences. Every layer is double checked or even triple checked upon application to achieve the best possible result.

We lace single-tyre or double-tyre rims of all profiles or numbers of spokes or types of lacing. We have 7 qualified employees in our lacing department and they can lace about 400 wheels in one shift. The lacing process consists of 3 parts - the actual lacing, centring and tiring. Spoke lacing at MasterBike is namely implemented on Holland Mechanics Dutch machines. Our Intelligent Single Lacer automated machines lace 16” - 28” wheels and wheels of the same size are centred on fully- automated SG robots. Tiring is provided by TMC automated machines.

The “Air line” assembly line allows 25 assembly employees to assemble up to 300 children’s bikes, which are easier to make and up to 180 more demanding sports bikes with any required setup. During the day, we can easily switch the assembly line from one type of bicycle to another. The entire process is supervised by our master workshop and by a product specialist, who guarantees the best final product. Our workers only use pneumatic tools with an adjustable tightening torque during the assembly. An adjustable tightening torque is very important during the assembly - it guarantees that all components sustain the burden they are exposed to when riding.
