MTB service checklist (anyone have one?)


Zeps

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a checklist to use when doing a full service on an MTB perhaps with tips on adjusting etc. per item where necessary?

 

Just wondering as it would be nice to be able to tick off each thing as you go ...... to ensure that you don't forget anything.

 

Interesting I have never seen such a thing (like you show you when they have serviced your car ...) at a bike shop!

Maybe also check the saddle, clean the rails, grease bolt with number 11

I also read somewhere that once every six months or so a drop of oil on each spoke nipple is a good idea.

Thanks for going to the trouble to list these guys! I am sure I am not the only person that they are useful to!
