You have just picked up your bike. Materiel-velo.com thanks you for your trust.
You can start enjoying it right away! This page is designed to provide you with best practice maintenance tips to ensure your bike continues to run smoothly.|>
First of all, your bike is new and we would like to check it after a few dozen hours of riding (20 hours maximum). This check, which is offered free of charge with the purchase of your bike, is very important!
During this check, we will perform a general inspection of the bike (checking tightness and adjustments) after the break-in period. Many parts settle into their final position during the first few rides!
Then, regardless of the type of bike and how it is used, it is important to have your bike checked annually in our workshops. This allows you to anticipate wear and tear on parts and therefore reduce overall maintenance costs. In most cases, these interventions are less expensive than breakdown repairs and keep your bike running at its best.|>
