Hi All,

Just a quick question .... bought one of these off Ebay, doing a 300 mile journey for Charity, want to check its all working fine. Questions are:

Is this a massive job to do?
Do you need to take the hub off the rim to service it?

Thanks

Sam

    A bit.
    Nope.

    The hardest thing is getting the grease at a good price.

    Give it to a bike shop that does them to do it.

    Any idea how much I should be paying for a service?

    Thanks

    It depends on what is wrong with it.
