Routine servicing keeps your bike safe, reliable and running well.
Most faults don't appear out of nowhere. Worn brakes, a chain running too tight, oil losing its lubricating properties — it starts small and only becomes a problem if it's left too long. Routine servicing is aimed at finding those things before they do.
MCR Services works to a consistent servicing routine and uses quality materials, whether it's a daily road bike or a bike that also sees the circuit.
The annual baseline check: oil and filter, fluid levels, lighting and a general inspection.
A deeper check including valves, cam chain timing and a thorough inspection of wear items.
Brake pads, brake fluid and the braking system checked for function and wear.
A minor service is the annual baseline: replacing oil and filter, checking fluid levels, lighting and general condition. A major service goes deeper — think valve clearances and cam chain timing — and is needed at the mileage or time intervals the manufacturer specifies. Which one your bike needs depends on the make, the mileage and when the last service was carried out.
Routine servicing isn't just about reliability. It keeps your bike safe — brakes and tyres especially aren't components you want to take risks with — and it protects the bike's value if you sell it later. A complete, demonstrable service history is often just as important to a buyer as the condition of the bike itself.
