Service Plan - Spread out the costs
This is exclusively for existing customers so that you can spread out the costs of the annual service in advance of the next one. Subscribers benefit from half price puncture repairs, double warranty period – 12 months warranty on all parts fitted instead of the usual 6 months, and free adjustments and tweaks to the bike whenever needed. The aim is to provide you with trouble free cycling.
It’s a fine balance isn’t it: keeping your bike in fine-fettle without creaking and clunking noises, and operating properly, whilst being concious of the cost of replacement parts and servicing, and the fact that regular maintenance will make things last longer, and therefore be better for your wallet and the planet?
Our Service Plan helps:
-
Spread the costs out over 12 months
-
Includes all main components that often need replacing to minimise the chance of unexpected high bills*
-
Any additional components that need replacing will be charged separately, and ONLY after gaining your authorisation
I’ll get your bike back to as new condition as possible; often better than new! My customers love the detailed assessment and update videos that they receive, along with the reassurance of knowing that their bike has been stripped back down to the frame and rebuilt: they know that their bike comes back to them better than new functionally, and backed up by a 6 month warranty!
If the cost of servicing comes to mind, then maybe consider that you likely reach speeds in excess of 40mph on a descent. I’m sure you’d like to feel confident that your bike is not going to let you down on a fast bend. I don’t cut corners so that you can ‘rail’ those corners!
