Description

The Dr Bike will attempt the following:

  • inflate tyres
  • adjust brakes and gears
  • straighten wheels
  • tighten and adjust parts such as handlebars and saddle, hubs, bottom bracket, headset and pedals
  • check chain and sprocket wear, check and adjust cable tension and assess wear and corrosion
  • check and re-fit mudguards

Not all repairs will be carried out on each bike every time. Sometimes the mechanic runs out of time. Also, sometimes things cannot be adjusted due to wear, corrosion or damage.
