TUNE UP & OVERHAUL

ULTIMATE TUNE-UP

Our most popular tune-up service will have your bike working better than new! Recommended for bicycles that are used daily, or have not been serviced in a while, but any bike will benefit from this thorough rejuvenation. What’s included? Whoa! Brace yourself, it’s a long list*:

  • Set-up, adjustment and testing of braking systems. Parts & cables replaced as needed.

  • Set-up, adjustment and testing of shifting systems. Parts & cables replaced as needed.

  • Adjust all bearing surfaces: hubs, headset, bottom bracket, as needed and applicable

  • If applicable, the quill stem and brake bosses are greased.

  • Full degreasing and re-lubricationof the drivetrain

  • If needed, replacement of any external parts or components including tires, chain, cassette, brakes, cranks, chainrings, etc. (NOTE: There is a lot of variation here, depending on the needs of each individual bike & rider, and the only way to really nail it down is bring you bike in and discuss the repair with the mechanic.)

  • Removal of build-up from the rims to increase rim and brake pad life, and braking power.

  • Safety inspection and correct attachment of wheels, components and accessories.

  • Application of lubricant to chain, grease to seatpost, and LocTite for small nuts and bolts.

*Asking how much a tune-up costs won’t tell you much unless you know what it covers. Most shops don’t include what we do in one flat fee. After being treated to our Ultimate Tune-Up, your bike will work better than new.

Other options are available in the store. If your bike is more lightly used, please book a Tune-Up Estimate Request, and we will recommend the appropriate service upon inspection.
