Service and maintenance schedule
It is advisable to have your CENTURION bike serviced regularly after the bedding-in phase. The schedule given in the table below is a rough guide for
cyclists who ride their bike between 2,000 and 3,000 km or 100 to 150 hours of use a year.
If you consistently ride more or if you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces, the service intervals will shorten accordingly.
