How Often Should You REALLY Service Your Bike? (Delivery vs. Casual Riders)
Share
Whether you're riding across town for 10 food drops or cruising once a week through East Coast Park, your bike doesn’t wear the same — so why treat the service schedule the same?
Here’s how to know what your bike actually needs, based on how you ride 👇
🚴♂️ For Delivery Riders (Daily Use)
Your bike is your livelihood — and like any tool used daily, it demands attention.
✅ Weekly:
-
Lube your chain (especially in SG’s rainy spells)
-
Check tire pressure and visual wear
✅ Monthly:
-
Inspect brake pads and cables
-
Look for signs of misalignment or friction
-
Wipe down the frame and drivetrain — grime kills components
✅ Every 2–3 Months:
-
Check gears and derailleur tuning
-
Test your lights, especially if riding late
In-Store Tip:
We stock compatible pads, mini pumps, and Muc-Off lube/cleaner kits — all tested for local delivery conditions.
🚴 For Casual Riders (Weekend Use)
You ride lighter, but neglect adds up — especially in our humid climate.
✅ Every 2–4 Weeks:
-
Lube the chain if stored outdoors
-
Check tire pressure — flat tires reduce performance
✅ Every 3–6 Months:
-
Inspect your brakes and gear shifts
-
Give the bike a quick cleaning if it’s picked up dust or rust
In-Store Tip:
We recommend a chain check every few months and using lightweight accessories like foldable locks or bottle holders for leisure rides.
