Bike: 2004 Specialized HardRock Sport
Upgrades/Modifications: SRAM PG-850 cassette and SRAM PC-890 chain, both of which have a few hundred miles on them and were installed in Oct. 2008.
I've pretty much "had it" with working on my own bike. I don't have the correct tools, facilities, patience, time, etc to learn at the moment.
While I have the brakes perfectly adjusted, my drivetrain is still slightly out-of-adjustment. Some gear combinations rub, and I am also getting an occasional skip that has been somewhat cured by adjusting the rear derailleur. Also, I don't know if I adjusted the rear hub correctly when I overhauled it.
So, I need a complete tune-up for the bicycle. I think I need the following items done:
- True both wheels
- Overhaul front and rear hub
- Adjust entire drivetrain
- Check overall condition of the bicycle and point out additional areas in need of repair.
Basically, I am looking at a major tune-up plus the additional cost of overhauling the front and rear hubs. I checked the website of a local bicycle shop and they want about $100 for this work.
How much should I be paying?
Thanks!
