what can i expect to pay for the lbs to service my bike
something like clean, grease, lube, inspect, advise
would you expect bearings, gear alignment, brakes, forks/shock to be included?

Safety Check - £10

Basic Service - £25

Standard Service - £45

Full Service - £80

Taken from one of druidh's (less good) COMPETITORS!

druidh is the expert here but I think it's like getting your car serviced. They check what needs checked, adjust the things that need adjusting and then call you to tell you that the brake pads are done, the tyres are worn, the drivetrain needs X, the headset is rusted.... All good.

But the key thing is that an expert checks the bike over and knows if you're about to have problems etc. I suspect that the increasing prices mean more things that actually get taken apart and cleaned / greased etc.

I dont think any listed "service" will include a fork service.

If you go with Druidh - to top it off he'll recommend you put some cryptic stickers on your bike. 😉

basic £35
standard £65
born again £90

These are pretty much standard prices for most bike shops our size or larger.

Smaller places may charge less as you would imagine.

To give you an idea of what gets done then:

(there will be no cryptic stickers!)
