Bike Maintenance
We will go over some basic of tune-ups and true-ups so your wheels and cables are smooth and rocking, allowing you to ride easy all summer long. We may even be able to teach you to true your wheel, re-thread your brakes, adjust your derailleur, and some other basics. If there are any in-depth issues, we'll be more than happy to help you get comfy with all your bike parts.
