Average price for a service

[shirokazan]

Just collected mine from the LBS (Eddie McGrath in Urmston) after treating it to its 1st ever service after 4k miles or so

Wow, 4000 miles and it didn't need a new chain. That's quite a thing.

I managed that myself, and a new cassette, a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't it be cheaper to do a bike maintenance course?

Thats something im looking into myself, i noticed a while back on Evans site again, £10 deposit for the course, get it back provided you attend, just a one night thing i think.... i havent seen any others elsewhere....

Just had a gear service and replacement of both front and back wheel bearings at my LBS .............£20 all in.
I thought this was reasonable

 

[Jmetz]

i'd say that sounds extremely reasonable

In slight relation, I currently have these handlebar grips http://bontrager.com/model/04164

i however am in dire need of bar ends, dire need! Am i correct in thinking to achieve this i will need new grips too, due to the style?

Don't see why unless the ends are closed off? A scalpel should sort that out in a jiff.

£30 for full service and new bearings in both wheels for my winter commuter at the LBS. Took my new baby in 2 weeks later and the lads fitted some gatorskins in a jiffy (saving my knuckles) and didn't charge. I still left them a tip though

I had a service by Leisure Lakes in Wolverhampton once. Rubbish and expensive.
