A lot of people ask us how frequently do we have to service our bike.
Generally there is not a common answer because of this sadly as it truly is determined by the bicycle, the quantity of miles covered, the surface the bicycles been ridden on and what you are holding.
As a general guideline an annual program is a great manual, or even in case you are a cyclist driving all year round for road salt, snow, mud, and rain two times annually is better as the seasons change.
Whenever you purchase a new bicycle from us, they are going to give you a complimentary service for six – eight weeks. These initial checks and adjustments are very important. Whenever your bike is primarily assembled the brand new parts take the time to settle in because you initially ride it and this comprehensive check and adjustment of all of the aspects of your new bike is more important at this earlier stage. We are able to also service your bike in case you purchased it online and offline.
It’s much better to be proactive with bicycles and not put things off which do not seem correct, being reactive is more likely to result in additional (more expensive) harm and also importantly bicycles are automobiles utilized on highways, therefore do not jeopardize yourself, it is not worthwhile.
