Tune Up
How often?
When a bicycle is being used regularly, it should be tuned up once a year minimum. Of course everyone rides their bike to varying degrees and in different conditions, therefore it is a good idea to have it inspected by our trained technicians.
What should I do to maintain my bicycle?
There are a few things you can do yourself at home between tune-ups. One of the most important things is to keep your bike clean and drive train parts lubricated. Every so often depending on use, apply a light weight dry lube such as Muc-Off Dry Lube to the chain, freewheel and derailleur pivots. Another thing you can do yourself is to check the tire pressure. A floor pump with a pressure gauge is a handy thing to have since inner tubes do bleed air over a period of time. Riding with the proper tire pressure will decrease rolling resistance making it easier to pedal and also reduce the chances of getting a flat tire. The recommended pressure will be printed on the sidewall of the tire. One more thing is to look and listen to anything that may not seem quite right. For example; gears are hesitating to change or making clicking sounds, or the brake pads are rubbing on the rim etc.
