Practical Tune Up

Basic Tune Up

• Cleaning and Lubrication:

• The mechanic will thoroughly clean your bike, especially the drivetrain (chain, cassette, and chainrings) to remove dirt and grime. 

• They will then apply fresh lubricant to the chain and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation. 

• Brake Adjustment:

• Brake levers and calipers will be checked and adjusted to ensure proper braking power and responsiveness. 

• Gear Adjustment:

• The mechanic will fine-tune the derailleur (front and rear) to ensure smooth and accurate shifting. 

• Wheel Truing:

• If your wheels are out of true (have wobbles or hops), the mechanic will straighten them using a truing stand. 

• Tire Pressure Check and Adjustment:

• Tire pressure will be checked and adjusted to the recommended PSI for optimal performance and comfort. 

• Other Checks:

• The mechanic will inspect other components like the headset, bottom bracket, and pedals for any issues and make necessary adjustments. 

• They will also check for any loose bolts or other safety concerns.
