Maintenance Schedule
Bicycles require some regular maintenance plus occasional mechanical service and/or overhaul. We can do it for you, or we're glad to help you learn as much as you're interested in.
Before every ride, make sure your bike is working like the fine tuned machine it has potential to be. Check the brakes, shifting, headset and tire pressure. At the beginning of the season or before a major ride, bring it in and we'll inspect it for any service it may need.
