Why get a tune up?

Keeping your bike tuned-up is very important. Regular tune-ups help riders catch problems before they turn into major disasters. They also ensure that your bikes operate at peak performance.

​

 How often do I need it? 

A Tune-up is recommended once a year for an average weekend rider. If you ride more frequently, twice a year may be smarter. Most bikes will require service after not being ridden for a number of years. 

​

 What about E-Bike Tune-ups? \

We recommend your E-Bike gets inspected and tuned at least once a year. E-bikes contain a motor and a more robust frame than conventional bicycles. This means that their parts are put under even greater strain. Drivetrains and tires wear much more rapidly than a conventional bicycle.

​

Whats included in a tune up?

• A regular tune-up includes the following:

• Thoroughly cleaned with hot soapy water.

• Drive train is thoroughly de-greased.

• True and tension the wheels, including front and rear hubs, bottom bracket and headset. Adjust bearings surfaces if they have an external adjustment,

• We adjust the brakes and the derailleurs to ensure

       smooth operation.

• Inflate the tires to the proper pressures.

• Lubricate the chain, cassette and derailleur pivots.

• Grease the seatpost and quill stems.

​

Then the final step is to test ride your bike to ensure that your bike shifts and brakes to our high standards.
