The build-up to the 2019 Noosa Classic Gran Fondo cycling event has us pretty excited and we\u2019ve been bringing you hot tips, Noosa sneak peeks and news from our partners.<\/p>\n

But one thing we haven\u2019t talked about is the all-important bike service.<\/p>\n

Much like the automobile, a bike service is something that quite often gets avoided or forgotten despite its essential nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMake no mistake, it\u2019s vital everyone registered for Noosa put their beloved bike in for a check-up. While we have our fingers and toes crossed for perfect weather you never know what the day will bring and if we see a repeat of last year\u2019s rainy conditions, all the more reason to have your bike in top shape.<\/p>\n

Obviously if you ride a lot you should have it serviced regularly but for those who haven\u2019t ridden for a while or who have a special Gran Fondo machine this rule also applies to you.<\/p>\n

Make sure the brakes<\/strong> are in working order, the frame<\/strong> is clean, the wheels<\/strong> are in working order, the tyres<\/strong> have enough wear left and as a general rule of thumb, ensure everything is tightened<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can do one yourself if you have all the right tools and know-how but we recommend taking it into a bike shop just to be safe.<\/p>\n

For anyone in the Noosa region or who are heading up early, Le Cyclosportif<\/a> offer a wide range of servicing options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
