Every year we do bike checks on fleet/pool bikes for a number of organisations to ensure their bikes are roadworthy for their employees/customers/students to use. It's an 'MOT' for a bike checking it from nose to tail. Today was the turn of the local hospital - and it passed with flying colours I'm pleased to say.
It is worth getting an annual check on any bike - it only costs £12 for that peace of mind - and if any jobs do need doing we'll give you a price up front.
Please remember to give your bike a clean before booking it in though - we will charge extra if we have to clean a bike before we can work on it - and if it is very bad we may decline to take it until it has been cleaned up. You don't really need fancy cleaners - warm soapy water, an old sponge and an old toothbrush (for the 'hard to get at' bits). If you use a hosepipe or pressure washer be really careful not to point this at hubs, bottom bracket bearings or suspension untis as you risk stripping out the essential grease!
