Elvin Posted October 11, 2009 Share So I'm clueless about what they actually do on the bike....but to my defense I'm a newbie to the sport... So what do they do on the bike? I have a secondhand trek 1000 alpha series.Also about how much do they charge for such a service ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted October 12, 2009 Share Major service on a road bike at my LBS would include minor service plus truing/servicing wheel hub's, BB, and head set and include labour but pay for parts on any item needing replacement. scotty2009-10-12 00:45:43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted October 12, 2009 Share Back in the days they would service hubs & BB & headset. Replace cables (all cables) take off deraileurs- chain cassette, clean them up on the parafine bin. put back on, re- index the ders- and pollins the frame up to look like new. In 1999 that costed R250.. what does hat cost today? do they still take your parts off, wash and replace cables? I dont know anymore as I do all my own stuff.
