Service and maintenance

[Joshua1]

Hi all,

 

New to this great forum. Newish to cycling as well.

I have entered the Burger and Argus and want to give my mountain bike a good look over before each race but want to do it myself. Just not sure how to set, lube and grease every thing. does anyone have a service or maintenance manual or know where I can get one? Mongoose switchback expert and a Titan Sport Series Cruz. Done some searching on net and here of forum cant find much.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks so much for the replies!

what do you guys carry with a race/ride?

Multi tool, tube or two, pump and or co2, tube repair kit? that's my plan anyway.

 

thanks again

Shameless hijack but is there an electronic version of the Big Blue Book available?

There's also Zinn's Art of Mountainbike maintenance.

And a pin, i read somewhere that they can be quite expensive if you get one from one of the service points
