How often should I service my bike?
How often should I service my bike?
An absolute minimum would be annually. Regular riding of 2 hours or more per week we would recommend booking your bike in every 3-4 months. A regular service plan more often than not costs less than an annual overhaul and spreads the expense out.
We strongly recommend booking your bike in whenever you feel it is doing something irregular or making abnormal noises. Often a very simple adjustment can alleviate the need for an expensive repair if left unattended.
