their able steed come the start of the next stage. To ensure more value for money they have come
up with a innovative maintenance plan, as well as an everyday maintenance schedule.

The service process
We know you will be exhausted at the end of each day and longing for that hot shower and
scrumptuous meal; however nothing is more frustrating than a misbehaving bike, so bike care needs to
be worked into your daily routine. They will service your bike as quickly as possible, but remember
it takes time to do it properly.
This is the process:
-
If your bike is part of the maintenance plan (highly recommended), you just bring it in after your
ride, and fetch it again later, serviced and cleaned – they have all your details already captured,
so no hassle no fuss. If in the process of looking your bike over, we detect a problem, you will be
notified via mobile phone with a quote. All in all, your bike will still be ready come tomorrow.
-
For those of you that handle your own basic maintenance and cleaning, we will still gladly look after
the more serious issues.
-
Just bring your bike to the service admin desk, and let them know what you want fixed
-
Our community partners are offering a bike cleaning service at a fee of R 20/bike, so before
you bring it to the workshop, please ensure it is clean – WE DO NOT WORK ON DIRTY BIKES.
-
Your bike will be asessed and an estimate of cost will be given
-
You will have to sign it off before any work is done.
-
All maintenance work is to be paid for by either credit card(visa/master) or cash before the
bike is released
-
Please ensure that your bike is in sound mechanical condition before your arrival in Oudtshoorn.
