Bike Tune Ups
Higher Gear offers the following types of tune-up services:
- Race check;
- Standard, which includes wheel truing, checking brakes and gears, removing everything that touches the chain (e.g., cogs, derailers, crank, chains, etc.), making necessary adjustments, and washing the bike;
- Deluxe tune-up, which includes everything in Standard including bike washing, plus a bottom bracket overhaul.
Bike Washing
Washing your bike is critical. Allowing dirt, grease, and grime to build up can deteriorate bike, parts, and components. Here’s a simple before-and-after video to show you what we mean by bike washing.
