The first one will be the major one... typically after that tuning things up is semi-rare, but will of course vary depending on how much you ride/how hard you are on your bike.


The most common thing (for me anyway) is the occaisional drive train tweak. But again it's always minimal.

There are lots of adjustments that you'll figure out how to do along the way that should keep you out of the LBS for everything but the major stuff.

When you pick up your bike make sure you talk with the mechanic so he can give you a run down of all the the "trim" adjustments you can make on your own with no tools, etc.
