Smith's Cycling and Fitness - Re-Built Summer Transportation

03 April, 2011 06:39 CST6CDT

My bike was in great need of an overhaul tune-up.  I took it to the Smith's Cycling and Fitness where I bought the bike to get a tune-up/maintenance and replace a number of parts.

Where I live, most places are very accessible by bike.  With gas prices, car maintenance, and insurance, I rely heavily on my Trek for daily transportation in conjunction with the bus in which the La Crosse MTU allows you to tow your gear along with you to your destination.

I now have, what feels like, a brand new bike.  In fact, it rides better than when I purchased it new.  This is my list of modifications and parts:

  1. Bicycle Check #1 (I managed to shave $20 off this cost) $19.99
  2. Replaced De-railer Cable $5.00
  3. Replaced the 7 Speed Back Tire Gears $19.99
  4. Replaced Internal De-railer Cable $3.99
  5. De-railer Cable Housing $4.50
  6. New Front Brakes $9.99
  7. New Back Brakes $9.99
  8. New Chain $6.00
  9. SRAM $18.99

With parts and labor, minus $20.00, the total came to $110.19.  They did an amazing job.  Thanks Smith's!
