Scheduled Maintenance

Found this somewhere about on the web (lost link to the original), on regular bike maintenance.

Tune up: Once a year or as needed

Cables Replaced: Every 6 months or as needed

Tires: Every 2500 Miles

Tubes: Until they flat

Chain:
10-speed: Every 2000 miles
9-speed or less: Every 2500 miles

Cassette: Every 15,000 miles if chain is replaced regularly

Bottom Bracket: Replace when loose or rough

Brake Pads: Replace when worn halfway through

Bearings: Replace when rough

Carbon Bars and Seat Post: Replace every 1.5 to 2 years.

After getting my babies back from the shop for their checkups, I see that I’ve got about another 1k miles on both the tires and the chains, and another 6mo for cables. We’ll see how well this works out from a practical standpoint.
