Why to do regular maintenance to bicycles?
Most bicycles are very simple machines that just pedalling them will take you wherever you want. But there is a trick… it needs care.
As any machine that works thanks to mechanical parts, it must be check and replace those that are worn out.
Bearings
Hubs, bottom bracket and headset have inside bearings that could end damaged if they are not lubricated properly.
Cables
Brake and gear cables are in constant friction and tension inside the housing, and could brake the cable. Check and lubricate them is very important for a correct performance and safety.
Tires
Presion and condition of tires are critical for a good ride. To low presion produce a lot of friction and some damage if hit something in the road. Also a good shape tire offers more stability and safety.
Spokes
Spokes get loosen with the use and need to be checked, tightened or replaced if is the case. Avoiding in this way, troubles on the wheel.
Brakes
Maybe the most important part of a bicycle. It needs to be adjusted very often and its pads replaced for a complete safety.
Gears
They will lose adjustment and could happen for many reasons. But with a right inspection, is possible to find the way to take the gears back in correct performance.
Drivetrain
These are mechanical parts in constant friction to each other, that wears them easily. Doing a deep cleaning and lubricating them right, cand help to extend their lifetime.
