twice year full self checkup, clean, and lube every moving part, every nut snugged up, check spokes and tire true (easy once I tried it), gear shift adjust if needed. Every week tire fill, check quick release (bad experience). If I notice the bike getting lots of squeaks I do a full check of nuts and spokes and quick lube, it only takes 10 min.
Learning how to adjust the gear shift took me an afternoon. I haven't been in for a checkup since I bought the bike in '97
Everything you need to know is on the net, just give it a try. Kinda makes me feel like a kid working on my banana seat bike. Maybe I'll get some extended forks for the chopper look.
