Description of service

I paid for many services in April to maintain the condition of this mountain bike. These maintaining services include cleaning the mountain bike, chain lubrication, and replacing the chains. These services are relatively cheap if you perform them at your local bike shop. I had all of these done for about $20.


Review of Service

This service was done very well and effectively. I did not have to wait that long, and afterwards my bike worked better than it ever had. I would strongly recommend this service to anyone that wants their mountain bike to work the best it possibly can.


Tips

This service is useful, even if you think your bike works perfectly. You will be surprised at how much better your bike works after this service and how much cleaner it works too. Also, you can perform most of these services at home for an even lower cost. I would very strongly recommend researching how to clean your bike (efficiently) and tune it up to achieve the best riding experience possible. Research chain lubrication, brake cable lubrication, fixing chains, adjusting the brakes, and many other bicycle services. I have performed many of these services and they are relatively easy to perform. Just remember that getting this service done at a bike shop is still a good idea because they will perform this service very efficiently and the price is not that expensive.
