Recommended Maintenance Schedule

 
Bicycles require some regular maintenance plus occasionally mechanical service and/or overhaul.  We can do it all for you, or we're glad to help you Learn as you're interested in.
Easy to learn Basic:  Knowing these saves you money and increases your riding self-reliance.
  • Inflating tires
  • Removing front and rear wheels
  • Lubricating your chain
  • Changing a flat tire
  • Adjusting a seat
  • Knowing when moving parts and brakes need service
Before every ride, are these basics in proper working order?  Brakes, shifting, headset, tire pressure.  At the beginning of the season, or before a major ride, bring your bike in and we'll inspect it for service it may need.

If you ride in consistently bad weather, lube and wipe down the chain after every ride and double the service frequency.
