The Quickie

This is a typical suite of jobs that we would perform on your bike when you bring it in and pretty much everything still works, and you want to keep it that way!

Think of it as a ‘checking the oil and water’ on a car type service. We recommend you give your bike a ‘quickie’ every six months or so, even less if you commute every day (in all weather conditions).

Typical work performed:

  • Wipe down the frame and check the entire bike over for any problems, or ones that might be just around the corner
  • Clean the cassette and chain rings (on the bike)
  • Clean and lube chain (on the bike)
  • Clean and lube front and rear derailleurs (on the bike)
  • Clean and lube gear and brake cables
  • Remove wheels, check and adjust bearings, check spoke tension and wheel ‘trueness’
  • Check tyres for wear and correct inflation
  • Clean brake blocks and braking surface of rim
  • Check bottom bracket, pedal and headset bearings
  • Check and tighten all components (including accessories)
  • Adjust gears and brakes
  • Test ride

Remember, the actual jobs performed on your bike will differ because our services are based on a physical assessment of the bike when it’s dropped off, together with its service history and any problems you bring to our attention.

Quickies typically cost around $70 plus parts. For more detail, check out our pricing policy, or better still, drop in to the workshop, give us a call on 9388 1319 or email.
