Two years ago woman and me bought a pair of Specialized hardrock mountain bikes. Last year the shop did a free tune up for spring. Last fall we decided that we ride enough to buy a pair of road bikes, Trek 1.2 and woman got the Trek lexa 1.2. They will get the free tune up this spring since they are new.
But I will need to do a tune up for the mountain bikes this year. Twenty years ago I tore down my BMX bike and painted the frame and completely rebuilt the bike so I have some knowledge about bikes but never had anyone to teach me about general maintenance. Plus I'm sure there are lots of differences between a BMX bike and the newer mountain and road bikes!
What do I need to do for a spring tune up? Or general maintenance overall? Things to check over?
I want to build a stand to work on the bikes, think with 4 bikes now a stand is needed! I've been looking at some plans online to build a stand.
Thanks for any advice keeping these bikes in shape!
