Yearly Overhaul
Best for Cyclists who ride and train with their bike or have a lot of use
What is included in an overhaul and how often should it be done? An overhaul is a comprehensive service during which the complete bike is disassembled, bearings cleaned or replaced, drivetrain cleaned and cables and housing replaced. After reassembly, every system is tuned to perfection. Depending on how often the bike is used and under what conditions, an overhaul could be required once a year, every other year, or every 3000 miles.
Frame, seatpost, handlebar, etc.:
These parts are often overlooked during the normal tune-up process. Inspect these components for cracks, dents and bends. Any of these conditions is a major safety issue and should be addressed immediately. Remove the seatpost from the frame and clean it, and the inside seat tube. Also clean the seatpost clamp. Re-lubricate the seat tube with grease (metal-metal) or carbon assembly paste. Treat yourself to new bar tape or grips.
