Hi everyone, I don't usually post because I'm working on your bikes! But now with these weird times, I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
I will continue to service bikes as long as I'm healthy and it complies with the government guidelines.
Of course for safety reasons the best way for pickup and delivery is to leave the bike outside at an arranged time. Before returning your bike I will wipe it done with ant bacterial wipes.
This month has been crazy and I'm still booked up this week. Stay safe on and off the bike.
What a beautiful day

Amazing summer! Now back to the cold, dirty and wet winter. I see a lot of corrosion, seized spokes, and dirty/greasy drivetrains. Wash, dry and store your bike inside. And use a winter bike or at least winter wheels. RIDE!

Keep your bike clean!
1.clean rim braking surface, brake pads and spokes
2. wipe chain, cassette and chainrings
3.atleast once a year remove your pedals and seatpost and apply anti seize or carbon paste
4. check for corrosion and damage to frame and components
5. best time to clean is after the ride when substances such as dirt will wash off more easily.
6. GT85/WD40 are good for spraying drivetrain after washing to remove the water. Beware of over spray hitting rims or disc rotors. Dry and apply chain oil to chain and mech pivots.

Everyday I see expensive wheels with worn rim surfaces, seized seatpost and corrosion on frames and forks.
