Maintaining your bicycle on a constant basis can go a long way in ensuring the longevity of the bike, and regular checks with a bike mechanic will make all the difference to your ride. Regular maintenance checks ensure that your bike is safe for use and helps you avoid potentially costly bike repairs down the line.
A well-maintained bike makes for a safer and more enjoyable ride!
Learning to look after your bike is easy and rewarding. It can also help you avoid repairs and keep the moving parts working for longer – saving you money. We have compiled some resources on this page to help you get on your way. If you’re unsure or require further assistance, we recommend paying your local bike shop a visit and getting your bike checked over by an experienced mechanic.
The ABC Bike Check or Air, Brakes, Chain Check takes only a few seconds and will make sure you get the most out of your ride. We recommend completing an ABC Bike Check before every ride.
The “M” Check is a more thorough check, recommended to be completed on an approximately monthly basis (or as required depending on how frequently you are riding). The “M” Check covers the 5 key areas of your bike: brakes, drivetrain, handlebars, frame and saddle.
