Why Service Your Bike Regularly

Just like a car, bikes need regular servicing to ensure it is in excellent condition for using. At a service, you have the opportunity to check the bike's tyres, brakes, chain, lights and other details of your bike. Servicing your bike will prolong its life, plus allow you to get the best performance when using. If you’re looking to get out there on a cycle trip, perhaps cycling Llandudno is your chosen spot, it is good to get your bike checked.

When cycling out on public roads, you want to feel confident that your bike is trustworthy and safe, so checking in to get a service will solidify that safety.

What Is Included In A Service?

Different companies will service different fragments of your bike, so checking before handing in to service is a good idea. The most common areas a service will check include:

Break and gear adjustments
General chain lubrication
Tyre checks
A general bike wash

As Winter is upon us, checking your bike is in great condition is even more important. With Winter comes possible icy roads, and so your tyres will need to be at their optimum performance for safety purposes.

When Should You Service Your Bike

It is advised to get a bike service once a year. This will invite minor check ups. Typically, a full bike service is required if you haven't used your bike for a long period of time. If your bike has been sitting in your shed and you fancy taking it out for a ride, it's best to get a service beforehand to ensure full safety and limit risk of injury.

If your bike is not due a service, but you identify an issue, it is best to take your bike in for a check up. Signs could include the gears not being smooth, the bike chain has become loose or you spot obvious damage.

Where To Get Your Bike Serviced

Bike shops and repairs will have availability for servicing your bike. The cost of bike servicing can vary depending on your bike and what is getting checked. But, it is still a good idea to invest in the cost as it will provide you with a safe bike to use in future. There may be additional costs, such as equipment replacements, and these will be noted by the service provider after they’ve checked your bike. They may also offer some tips on how to keep your bike in good condition for a longer period of time, so it is worth the visit to get your bike serviced.
