Service Workshop

After making the exciting decision to purchase a new bike, we understand that servicing and maintenance of your pride and joy is probably not the first thing on your mind! However, it is vitally important to keep your bike well maintained.

A well maintained bike performs at its best, is safer and is a pleasure to ride. It also ensures that your different components last longer.

Although a lot of general bike maintenance can be carried out at home with the right tools, we recommend that your bike receives at least a basic service every 3 – 9 months depending on usage to keep it in tip top condition. If your bike has either front or rear suspension fitted then it is essential that you have this serviced regularly to ensure they work optimally.
