Bicycles are transport like, or even better than, cars, but they are not as heavily built and in particular don't have large reservoirs of oil and grease, and what they do have is much more exposed to weather.
This means that while your bicycle will tolerate a lot of use and misuse, it will function much more safely, efficiently, comfortably and quietly if it is regularly maintained.

We recommend a full overhaul after 12 months to two years, 5000 to 12000 kms. More often if it is ridden in all weathers or in rough conditions, less if it is only ridden on Beach Road on sunny Sundays.
What do we do?
For a full overhaul, we conduct the following comprehensive list of tasks:
