We'll let you in on a secret: A bike shop's version of "I told you so . . . ." is your bill when you didn't regularly service your bike. Your chain wore, ruined your cassette, maybe even your chainrings, and now what should have been a $100 bill is $500-$2000. Trust us, it happens.
Today's bikes require more frequent service for best performance. Disc brakes, drivetrains, and tires have all improved performance, but can have shorter lifespans, and replacement parts are costly! That headset on your internally routed bike will cost you $200 in labor alone to replace, and headsets seem to be a weak point, so you'll be lucky to get a year out of it. Why not do it yearly as part of an overhaul, where you save on both the parts and labor? Simply subscribe for our annual packages, and secure a parts discount. We'll even remind you when it's time for your next service.

Still not sure?
Here's an example of forgotten maintenance and how you can save, just by planning ahead:
| Tune-Up because your bike is shifting poorly = | $100 |
| The poor shifting is because your chain is worn out = | $50 |
| The worn chain ruined your cassette = | $250 to $600! |
| Oh, and your chainrings, too = | $250 to $800! |
| And the headset is ruined from sweat = | $50 and $200 in labor by itself. |
| Bar tape hasn't been replaced and you learn your handlebars are corroded to the point of failure = | $50 in tape, and $200-500 for new bars. |
| Tires are bald and showing the threads = | $100-180 |
| Tubeless sealant is dried and needs to be scraped out = | $60 |
You saved some money and time by not servicing your bike, but now you are looking at a bill of $900-$2200. Oof. Maybe that $610 overhaul and tune-up package makes more sense now.
