Maintenance

We make quality bicycles that are built to last. We make them easy to service without specialist tools or specialist skills. So easy that even members of our marketing team can do it with one eye closed (if we hide the sharp tools from them). Take a look at our step-by-step-videos for Lower Link and Upper Link service.  https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/support/maintenance-guides
