This year, we have revamped our Winter Tune-Up a bit. The new Winterbike 2010 is a complete, season-long maintenance program for your bike. When you join for a one-time fee of $155, you will receive:
Our Deluxe Tune-Up
- Full adjustment of braking system,
- Full adjustment of shifting system.
- External adjustment of both hubs.
- External adjustment of headset.
- External adjustment of bottom bracket.
- Complete wheel dishing & truing.
- Complete drivetrain cleaning or replacement (as needed).
- Chain lubrication.
- Inner tube replacement (if needed.)
- Tires inflated to correct pressure.
- Full check of parts and accessories to ensure safety.
- Free installation on additional accessories purchased from us.
INCLUDED ongoing maintenance through March 31, 2010
- Full bike wash and lube, as often as you wish
- Adjustments and tuning whenever needed
- Free labor on fixing flats
- Free labor installation of parts and accessories purchased at Rapid Transit.
Since we and our staff need to eat, all rubber, parts & accessories are extra, however, this year, as a Winterbike 2010 member, you will also receive a 10% discount on any merchandise purchased through March 31, 2010.
If you are planning to ride this winter, you really can't afford not to get this service. It is the best thing going in Chicago for winter bikers. And, the earlier you sign up for the program, the longer you get to enjoy its fabulous benefits.


Huh, this sounds like an interesting concept. I wonder if any of the shops do something like this in Milwaukee.

Maybe you should pass this on to them. It keeps customers walking in the door in winter. Something bike shops generally like :)
(Just don't let any other shops in Chicago catch on!)

I am from Milwaukee and they don't have anything like this that I know of the membership is pretty reasonable, would be a great idea.
