Pre ride checks

Check chain and rear wheel for alignment
Check tyres are seated properly on the rims and also for any damage
Check brakes are functioning properly (please note when you first get your bike the brakes will take time to "bed in" and will not work up to there full performance until this has happened).
Check wheels are running true
Check headset has no play
Check all nuts and bolts are tight
Have a quick look over the bike for any cracks or damage

Check freewheel for play, if there is any play stop riding and replace the bearings (we stock these for £15. If you continue to ride you will need further repairs and this will incur extra cost.

Service recomendations

In order to keep your bike running smoothly we reccomend following the steps below. The sooner you spot worn parts the less you will have to spend, broken down bearings can cause further damage to other components.

Dry skatepark use
Every 6 months check BB, strip and check bearings run smooth, clean any grit from area and re-grease.

Every 6 months strip and regrease headset.

Check brake pads every week for wear and replace when needed. Also check brake hoses for kinks or splits. If brake fluid gets onto the braking surfaces you will have to replace the pads and clean the rotors with a brake cleaning product in order to regain their full performance.

Re-grease seatpost every 6 months

Dirt use
Every 3 months (or as soon as it feels gritty) check BB, strip and check bearings are ok and run smooth, clean any grit from area and re-grease.

Every 3 months strip and regrease headset or as soon as it feels rough/gritty.

Re-grease seatpost every 6 months

Check brake pads every week for wear and replace when needed. Also check brake hoses for kinks or splits. If brake fluid gets onto the braking surfaces you will have to replace the pads and clean the rotors with a brake cleaning product in order to regain their full performance. Brakes pads will wear rapidly in wet/muddy conditions.
