Keep It Running Cisco Cycles offers three simple tips to keep your bike humming. 1. Show Some Love Properly maintaining your parts will keep them from breaking prematurely. Check to make sure your bolts are tight, tires inflated, chain lubed, suspension set to the right pressure, and derailleurs adjusted. And yes, frequently washing your bike helps, too. 2. Maintain Your Drivetrain Before applying lube, wipe or brush the dirt from your chain. If you lube it without cleaning, all the grit in there will be wet-sanding your drivetrain. That accelerates wear on your chain, cassette, and chainrings, which can be expensive to replace. 3. Replace Your Cables The combined shift and brake levers on modern road bikes can fray cables, causing them to bind in their housings. The levers eat cable heads. Keep yours sliding smoothly by replacing them yearly, or whenever shifting starts to feel sluggish. No need to get fancy; basic cables work fine. Taken these tips for Vecchios BikeShop in Colorado.
