The bike tune up at Spokes etc. includes checking all the bolts to be sure nothing is loosening up, adjusting brakes properly, making sure the wheels are true. The braided stainless steel cables can stretch out and part of it breaks in the process giving the biker a wobbly wheel.

Kostbar: Bike Noise Is Epidemic
People at Work
A week after the big snowstorm, a blue and silver Trek Excalibur sits on a bike rack waiting for its one-year warranty tune up and replacement of the chain links for more speed. Garrett Kostbar, service manager of Spokes etc. on Quaker Lane, will check all the bolts to be sure nothing has loosened up, adjust the head set to prevent slop or play in the bearing assembly, check the brake adjustment, make sure the wheels are true since the braided stainless steel cable can stretch out and break.
