REPAIRS & SERVICE
BICYCLE SERVICE
Servicing includes a comprehensive maintenance routine covering all essential aspects. This entails cleaning and lubricating all moving parts, such as cables, while also addressing brake related issues like facing brake pads, un-seizing and re-aligning.
We conduct thorough inspections of nuts, bolts, tyre pressure, headset, hubs, bottom bracket, bearings, gears, and brakes to ensure their optimal functioning.
Additionally, we true the wheels and clean the drive-train. We pay attention to details, ensuring the seat post moves smoothly and the controls are correctly positioned.
If any damage or components in need of significant attention or replacement are detected during the servicing, we will promptly inform you.
Your bicycle will be returned to you in a safe and fully operational condition.
