Summary
A bike inspection costs €30–80 depending on scope. Brakes, gears, tires, chain, bearings, lights and spoke tension are checked. Recommended: once a year or every 2,000 km.
Why is a bike inspection important?
Wear on brakes, chain and tires happens gradually. Regular maintenance keeps you safe and prevents expensive follow-up damage. One inspection per year is enough for occasional riders — commuters should have one every 6 months.
What gets checked during a bike inspection?
- Brakes: Check and adjust brake pads, cables, and performance.
- Gears: Adjust cables, derailleur, and shifting.
- Tires: Check tread, condition, and pressure.
- Chain: Measure chain wear. Replace at 0.75% stretch.
- Bearings: Check headset, bottom bracket, and hubs for play.
- Lights: Front and rear lights, reflectors.
- Spokes: Check tension, true wheels.
Tip: Bring your bike for inspection in spring — before peak season. Workshops have shorter wait times and your bike is ready in time.
