We’ll come to your house and address minor issues before you’ve even noticed them – keeping your bike running perfectly all year round!
We automatically offer this service to our existing “higher mileage” customers 3 months after any previous Interim, Standard, Advanced or Full service carried out by us.
We’ll turn up and carry out the service at your home leaving you without your bike for a grand total of about 30 minutes! If you’re interested in watching us work we’re happy to show you what we do so you can do these things yourself in future (remember – tippers make better mechanics!)
If you rely on your bike to get around or ride more than about 15 miles a week, you’ll want to keep a regular eye on your maintenance between your 6 monthly Standard servicing schedule.
Ideally you’ll want to set aside some time every month to carry out tasks such as checking, cleaning and lubricating the drivetrain, pumping the tyres, aligning the brakes etc. Not only will this help you catch normal wear and tear items like worn brake pads before they cause expensive and unnecessary problems- like damaged wheels. It will also give you the joy and pleasure of riding your bike that you deserve!
Of course if you don’t have the means, inclination or time to do this yourself then look no further – then our special Interim service is designed just for you!
Our Interim service includes and is limited to the following tasks due to time and resources available for on-site work: (please note it may not be possible to carry out some of these procedures if there are other issues with the bike – please make us aware of any problems before we visit!)
