How often should I service my bike?

As a rule of thumb, a bike ridden regularly should have a full service once a year, and a quick safety check every few months. If you commute daily or ride through winter grit, you'll want a General Service every 3–4 months.

Listen to your bike. Squeaky brakes, skipping gears, or a chain that's gone rusty are all signs it's time to book in. Catching a worn chain early saves your cassette and chainrings — a £14 chain is far cheaper than a £60 drivetrain.

Our free safety check is a great way to make sure your bike is safe to ride without committing to a full service. We'll check brakes, tyres, bolts and gears and let you know if anything needs attention.
