It is important that you keep your bike well maintained. This will ensure that the

• cycle's components last longer
• performance is kept at an optimum level
• ride is pleasurable

Some maintenance can be carried out at home with a workstand costing as little as £69.99 + p&p and the right tools and to help you I have included some maintenance 'podcasts', e.g. how to change an inner tube or tyre. All of our mechanics are trained to the highest standards with Cytech qualifications. We can open early during the week to enable you to get your bike in before you go to work and close later to give you plenty of time to collect your bike after work.

Types of Service

There are two types of service – a basic and an enhanced service. The basic service is a general check-over and, depending on use, is carried out as and when you feel performance has degraded. The enhanced service is a complete overhaul and involves stripping your bike down to the frame and its components - see below.

3 Free Services in Year 1

During the first few weeks of riding, parts of the bike may work their way loose or move out of alignment. This can lead to reduced performance and possible undue wear, hence there is a free basic service during the early weeks and a further 2 free basic services up to the end of the first year to give us the opportunity to guarantee the smooth running of your bike and cover any warranty issues should they arise.

Suspension Servicing

Suspension servicing should be carried out regularly depending on use
