So, you've watched all of GCN's Maintenance Monday videos (http://gcn.eu/maintmon) but you still want that extra peace of mind that you get from having a professional service your bike? Well, this is what we at GCN would expect from a bike service, and you should expect no less.
If you're ever unsure about how to service your bike, remember that it is a matter of safety, so, if in doubt, get it checked out (at your local bike shop). When you take your bike for a service, they should check the following - tyres, chain, bolts, frame and forks for cracks, and the wheel rims for wear.
If you're tired of parting with your hard-earned cash for bike servicing, why not try some of our maintenance Monday videos? Have we missed any that would help you? Comment and let us know!
