We true and dish the wheels, clean the chain completely, inspect all the components and the frame for warranty concerns. Then we adjust your brakes, dérailleurs, hubs, bottom bracket and headset. We re-lube the chain and cables, and recommend any replacements. Of course we will give it a good cleaning. Perfect way to get ready for the next season, epic ride, or big trip.
Price includes servicing components on the bike. Parts replacement -- brakes or derailleur cables, chain, bearings, etc -- incur additional charges.
Note: Clean bikes ride better!
