I have always taken my bike to my LBS to be serviced instead of doing it myself (apart from basic stuff like lubing etc.) but the guy who owns my LBS is becoming really rude and i dont want to give him any more business. So...
I have decided to start doing it all myself so my question for you.
How often should i be servicing my bike and what exactly should i be doing? Ie how often should i replace brake cables and stuff.
and what specific things should i be doing after riding trails? I always try to make sure that the bike is cleaned off and any water is cleaned off chain and other parts to stop rust but what else should i be doing?
Thanks guys
