Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I get my bike serviced?

A: For regular riders, a full service every 6-12 months is recommended. For casual riders, an annual service is usually sufficient. However, it's always wise to get a free safety check if you notice any changes in your bike's performance.

Q: How long does a service typically take?

A: A basic service can often be completed within a few hours, while a full service may take a day or two, depending on workshop load. We'll give you an estimated turnaround time when you drop your bike off.

A: No, you don't need to book! You can drop your bike off at our shop at any time during our opening hours.

Q: What's the difference between a basic and a full service?

A: A full service is more comprehensive, including the servicing of bearings (hubs, headset, bottom bracket) and more detailed drivetrain cleaning and checks, whereas a basic service focuses on essential adjustments and lubrication.
