Spring
Bike Tune Up
 Before you roll out on that first ride of the spring season, consider
getting your bike professionally tuned up. Since the BCC has no drop rides, you
can hold up the entire group if your bike breaks down. It is your responsibility to show up at group
rides with a well maintained bike with fully inflated tires.
A professional tune up will get your ride performing well and ultimately
deliver you a better cycling experience.
All new bikes purchased at Bicycle Village, one
of our sponsors, get free basic tune ups for life. Most local bike shops will charge anywhere
from $50-$100 for a professional major tune up. If your bike has really
suffered from neglect, it might benefit from a more extensive overhaul. An
overhaul will typically run well in excess of $100, but it will include
specialized service to the hubs, bottom bracket and drive train. A
knowledgeable bike shop employee can no doubt offer you some guidance as to
whether your bike needs a simple tune up or a full-scale overhaul.
If you cannot afford
a professional tune up, or you got one done late last season, you should still
give your bike a close once over before you hit the road. See the members only section of our site for tune up tips.
