At Rode Cycles we don’t try and baffle you with various bicycle service options, you either need a basic bike service that keeps you rolling or a full bike service that ensures your pride and joy is at its best. Therefore, we have two bicycle servicing options, the Basic and the Full.

Hydraulics

BLEED AND RE-SET £25 (full system)

There are two types of hydraulic brake fluid these are Dot and Mineral. Which your bike has determines how often you should bleed your brakes (hydraulic service). 
DOT fluid has a lifespan of 12 months (including its shelf life), so don’t buy a tub of Dot fluid that has been sat on the shelf at your local Halfords for six month’s or its only going to last you another six months. 
And don’t spill it on your bike, it’s like paint stripper! 
MINERAL fluid has a lifespan of five years, harmless to your bike’s paintwork and generally more cost effective. 
However, DOT fluid does out perform mineral fluid.

Our hydraulic service ensures trouble free braking. 
We will see to it that your brake system is working flawlessly, making sure all the parts are clean, with no leaks, correctly bled, with good pads and true disks. This service is probably the most important you will have, it could save your life.

 

Electronic Shifting Diagnostics

RUN DIAGOSTICS £40

The Shimano DI2 electronic shifting system is probably the most popular on the market and to keep your system effective and in order it requires constant diagnostic checks and updates to the system.
We at RODE Cycles can hook up your bike to the shimano Web system and carry out all diagnostic checks, fault checking, gear manipulation and firmware updates to ensure your bike is at its peak level. This needs to be done as part of your annual service and with the small cost of £40.00 it’s a small price to pay for continued excellence. Remember if you’re DI2 system malfunctions while you’re out on the road, there are very few things that can be done on the roadside. So don’t put yourself in that position and keep it running true.
