Basic Gear Service
£25.00
Simply, your gears aren't working as they should - skipping, not getting to all the cogs, or falling off the cassette or chain ring
What I'll do
- Clean the drive train (no components removed) using a Muc-Off drive train cleaner
- Clean always works better than dirty, and reduces likelihood of premature wear
- Check chain wear and sprockets for excessive wear
- Worn chain, cassette, jockey wheels or chain rings will reduce function
- Check gear hanger alignment
- If the parts aren't aligned, they won't work properly as a system
- Check chain length (cut as needed, or advise if too short needing replacement)
- Too short will limit the gears you can use and over stress the parts, too long and you may not shift gears nicely or the chain may drop of sprockets, or correctly engage the whole system for efficient drive
- Cable tensioned correctly
- If this isn't right you may not get use all gears
- Limit screws and B screw adjusted appropriately
- This will prevent the chain coming off the top/bottom cogs, and reduce noise when in some gears
- Chain lubricated with appropriate Muc-Off lubricant
- Let's keep everything smooth, corrosion free and extend the life of the parts
A relatively simple procedure for non electronic gears, thorough and in most cases will get things working without new parts
New cables may be required to allow smooth shifting; this will be advised upon initial inspection
