At Ride Ventoux, located in the beautiful Sault region of France, we are committed to providing our customers with the best road bikes available. Each of our rental bikes undergoes meticulous maintenance and preparation to ensure the best riding experience. Here are the details of how we care for and maintain our bikes:



Dynamic Dirt Destroy

Cleaning

After every rental, we start the maintenance process by thoroughly cleaning the bikes. We use Dynamic Bike Care Dirt Destroy to carefully remove dirt and mud from the bikes. This product ensures deep cleaning without damaging the delicate parts of the bike.

Dynamic Slick Wax

Chain and Gear Lubrication

Once the bike is clean, we lubricate the chain and gears with Dynamic Slix Vax. This special lubricant ensures smoother gear shifts and maximizes the bike’s performance.

Make it look like new

Final Cleaning Touch

For the final touch, we use Dynamic Fabulous Finish or Dynamic Protective Wax to give the bike a shiny, like-new appearance. This product polishes all surfaces of the bike and creates a protective layer that helps keep it clean for longer.

Maintenance

Derailleur Adjustments

We carefully check and adjust the gears of each bike to ensure they are in perfect working order. Proper gear adjustment is crucial for the bike’s performance and provides our customers with a smooth riding experience.

Bike-Fit

Saddle Height Adjustment / Saddle Selection

To ensure our customers are in the most comfortable position while riding, we adjust the saddle height. If customers do not know their inseam length, we measure it in-store and adjust the saddle height according to the Hamley method. This method helps determine the correct saddle height for a more comfortable and efficient ride.

TAGLINE

Never Without Torque Check!

We use a torque wrench to ensure that all bolts, including the saddle bolts, are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. This ensures that all parts of the bike are securely in place.

Safety Check!

Disc Rotor and Brake Pads Check

After every use, we check the thickness of the disc rotors and brake pads using a Park Tool digital caliper. Properly functioning brakes are crucial for riding safety, so we perform these checks with great care.

At Ride Ventoux, we strive to keep our bikes in top condition at all times. Our goal is to provide our customers with bikes that are both visually and mechanically perfect, ensuring they have an unforgettable riding experience on Mont Ventoux. If you have any questions or needs regarding our bikes, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Happy riding!
