dumb question

We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

HAving been travelling for some time, my bike's been sat in
the garage for about 9 months unused. What would need to be
done to it in order to get it shipshape again?

Obviously, clean& lube the chain, grease bearings (I guess),
pump up tyres, check out wheels. Do you reckon the fork
would need a complete service? It's a bomber, if that makes
any difference.

Cheers Nick

Nick, Clean and lube chain, check tyre pressure, and go
riding. That will tell you if anything else needs work ;-)

Try riding it. If it is broke, go buy a new one.
