Servicing and repairs
Keeping your bike regularly serviced and maintained is vital to ensure smooth and safe cycling. This will also add to the enjoyment by allowing the miles to flow with lower effort from the rider. Regular servicing is also cost efficient as worn parts are replaced before additional wear occurs and incurring additional costs.
Free Service
All bikes purchased from PEDAL BARN come with a free service at 6 weeks. This ensures the bike is running-in correctly and meets the warranty requirements.
Service Frequency
We recommend low infrequent riders have a general service once a year. This will ensure your bike is running safely and efficiently, in particular gear/braking performance and tyre condition.
Riders who rack up many miles on or off road may want to consider two services per year. For example, this will insure all bearings are running smoothly with no trapped foreign particles increasing wear and resistance.
