Dr Bike session

Description

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.

The mechanics will replace the following parts as a part of the service:

• inner tubes
• brake pads
• brake/gear cables, ferrules and end caps
• chain oil (dry lube in the summer and wet lube in the winter).

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

If required replacement parts are not available at the time of the Dr Bike session, or time does not allow for the required repair, then the bicycle owner will be told what parts or repairs their bike needs. This will always be done in a language that is easy and clear to understand and remember.
