SAFETY BIKE SERVICING OVERVIEW

Our bike safety service is great for all bikes that need minor tweaks and adjustments. Is your bike is only a few months old? or has been it ridden a few hundred miles? Let’s say your bike has been sat in the shed for a while everything has dried up, the bike chain is dry and chain links are stiff, the headset feels a little stiff. Could your brakes be better? All Bike Brakes are not as effective when the brake lever returns to close to the bar, do your gears not change up or down properly as good as they once did? Are the bike tyres splitting or showing cracks?
