I'm looking for someone to come to me and do a full service and clean of a carbon racing bike - including but not limited to: Check the gear indexing and brake performance. Inspect the wheels for damage and trueness. Check the brake pads, chain, cassette, rings for wear Check the hubs for play, spokes for odd tension. Check the headset and BB for play and smoothness. Pop the wheels out, wipe down the frame, look for cracks or bad paint. Check with frame jig if neccesary. Remove cranks, derailleurs, chain, cassette. Put bits from the above that are to be kept to soak in degreaser. Find replacements for the rest. Remove anything else that might want a soak in a degreaser (brake arms etc.) and soak. Check all fittings (racks, lights, brake levers) are tight and the bolts are undamaged. Check the cables for damage/rust/dragging. Replace as neccesary. Clean the wheels, check for damaged rims, nipples, tyres, spokes. Check the spoke tension in a truing stand. Clean, re-grease and note any bits that need replacing. Pop the wheels back in. Test.
