This is for my road bike. I'll begin the meat of my road campaign this year, starting next month in Coldspring. I want to get my bike ready, and here are some of the things I want to cover, as well as been recommended:
1. Wheels-make sure they're true and centered
2. hubs-make sure they're adjusted properly
3. tires-check for cuts & rips
4. tube-change to latex or light butyl
5. BB-remove it, clean it, grease the threads, torque down to spec
6. chain- clean it and lube
7. brakes- check toe in and condition of pads
8. Check over all bolts to make sure they're tightened down.
9. Drive train-clean it
10. FD & RD/Cables-clean them, lube them, and adjust them.
Did I miss anything? Also, I'm probably going to take it to the shop, so should I request this stuff or would it be included in a "tune-up"?
