When to call a bike shop

If you’re unsure how to do something, bring your bike into a local bike mechanic. If you ride regularly, you should bring your Schwinn bicycle in at least once a year for a full professional tune up where complex components can be inspected and serviced properly. A bicycle in good working condition will help keep you safe on the road.

When should I call?

• If your bicycle is making noise that is abnormal and unidentifiable
• If there is persistent rubbing or sticking of components
• If your derailleur isn't working properly
• If your bicycle chain keeps slipping off the chainring
• Once a year for a basic spring tune up
• At least once a year to service your suspension

Be a courteous bike owner

• Clean your bike off before bringing it in
• Don’t leave all of your gear on your bicycle - remove saddlebags or other cargo items that may get in the mechanics way
• Give the bike shop a few days to work on your bicycle, especially in the spring when shops are flooded with requests
