There are four types of drivetrain maintenance you may want to do on a hub geared bicycle: Add chain lubricant when the chain squeaks Re-tension the chain as it wears and the chain slack increases.

Replace the chain and possibly the front and rear sprockets when they are too worn Re-grease the internal gear hub Of these, the three first trivial. The problem is the fourth.

Improve this answer. You do not need to replace a tube, you just patch it in the spot. It used to take about 10 minutes with the glue needing drying, but now there are sticky tape type patches which are supposed to be much faster to use. If the bike uses a chain tensioner, replacing a tube is easy.

You loosen the axle nuts, drop the axle a few cm out of the dropouts, and wrangle the tube through on the left side. Don't even need to touch the chain. Erlkoenig Erlkoenig 3 3 silver badges 13 13 bronze badges.

A bike shop service for the hub is a good idea here, there are always specific tasks that a bike shop would be better for. Indeed, if be shop offers this service. My local shop doesn't, and frankly, I didn't want to ask all the local shops, and I also suspected they would as usual charge more for the service than the tools cost, so I did it myself. Heavily depends on the local shops though; the one from the German video does offer the service.
