One to two days, in most cases. We know you’d rather be riding your bike than have it sitting in the workshop for days.

How often should I service my bike?

After this initial service, we recommend a major service each 12 months with a minor check up at each change of season. It’s a reasonable guideline, but it really does depend on how much you ride, and what kinds of conditions you’re riding in. Heavy use, rain, mud and dust all mean more frequent servicing.

• Oiling cables, levers and pivots.

What tools are in a bike multi tool?

Are Bikehand tools any good?

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Kit! This tool kit is great and has most of the bicycle repair/maintenance tools you’ll ever need. It doesn’t have some of the specialty tools I like to have, like a crown race tool or headset press tool; but all the essentials are there to do a pretty complete rebuild, if you like.
