Spring is here – the blossom is on the trees, the birds are singing and across the country people are bringing their summer bikes out of hibernation. I know, because, as a mechanic, I’m now anticipating the annual servicing wave that follows the early season sunshine, whereby bikes that have been stowed away in hibernation find themselves back on the road (or trails), and sometimes – unfortunately – malfunctioning very soon after.
The change in the seasons is a perfect impetus to dedicating a little time to preparing your bike for the months to come, this will not only ensure you get the best from your machine, but it should also save on potentially expensive repairs at a later date.
