Zeps Posted August 24, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted August 24, 2010 Share Maybe also check the saddle, clean the rails, grease bolt with number 11I also read somewhere that once every six months or so a drop of oil on each spoke nipple is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
