Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm thinking about getting my bicycle
serviced for the first time to make sure it's entirely
roadworthy.  My question is what should I expect from a bike
service from a professional?  i.e. what checks are carried out,
what maintenance is done, to what price level will parts be
replaced within the service price?  And finally what price
should I be paying for a service? (London UK)  EDIT: I'll
further add there might be a minor problem with my back
dérailleur, no parts needed to fix, just the know how...
share|improve this question First off, it should be noted that
any good bike shop should give you a free "tune-up" in the 2-3
months following a new bike purchase from their shop. This is
necessary as the cables can be expected to stretch and will need
adjusting, even if the bike was perfect leaving the store.
(Obviously, you can't expect this from a discount store, or
mail-order.) –  Daniel R Hicks Mar 13 '13 at 20:15 They did
offer me one, unfortunately I'm many many kilometres from
