Minor service (excluding parts) adjust gear and brake' date=' lube, chain check and bike wash R150

 

Major service (exculding parts) minor service plus BB, headset and wheel hub R350.

 

MTB fork service extra.

unless that includes wheel truing it is daylight robbery.

 

Unless you dont mind your bike mech working on your your bike turned upside down and using a shifting spanner, hammer, pliers and a few screw drivers.

 

Complete tool kit to work on all bikes cost R 3200 (Yellow saddle suggested bike tool list including truing stand) add bike stand R1000. Now add on premises cost , consumables, stock, labour.

 

Kinda adds up.
