After a nice long weekend off up in the lakes we are back to a busy workshop again. Lots of folk wanting to get their bikes serviced ready for use in the winter - very sensible. Who wants to be let down by a technical problem on a cold dark and probably wet night on the way home?
It is also important to remind folk of carrying out a quick bike check before each ride - it need only take a few minutes and could save you a breakdown and/or expensive repair. We'll shortly be putting this on our website - so check back soon. An example of how this can save problems - we recently had to fit a new wheel to a newish bike because the customer hadm't kept a check on his wheels and didn't spot a number of loose spokes - by the time we got it it was too late for the rim (RIP)! He did say it had ' felt funny for a while'! If he'd checked it earlier he'd have spotted this and had the wheel tensioned and trued for a small cost...
