Maintenance Schedule

Specialized Allez Sport

The Specialized Allez Sport is one of the most popular first road bikes in the world. New riders often miss early maintenance, and the first skipped chain costs a cassette.

Service Intervals
Chain: check every 500 mi, replace at 2,000-2,500 mi Cassette: replace every 2-3 chains, or with the first badly worn chain Tires (30c): replace at 2,000-3,000 mi Brake pads (disc): replace at 1,500-2,500 mi Full tune-up: every 12 months or 2,000 mi, first service at 500 mi

New bikes need a first service around 500 miles: cables stretch and bolts settle in the first weeks of riding.

Track it automatically

Saddle connects to Garmin, Wahoo, and Strava, counts every mile on your bike, and tells you when each component is actually due. Then it books the work at your local shop in one tap.

FAQ
When does a new Allez need its first service?
Around 500 miles or 2 months in. Cables stretch and shifting drifts on every new bike.
How long does the Tiagra chain last?
Typically 2,000-2,500 miles. Skipping replacement wears the cassette, which costs three times as much.
How often should a beginner service their road bike?
A full tune-up once a year or every 2,000 miles, whichever comes first.
