New bike riders generally want to know the knowledge
I hope this short essay will bring help to the riding friends!
Before every ride
· Check the tire pressure
· Check the brakes and wiring
· Verify that your crank Settings are locked
· Confirm whether your quick release is locked, but not too tight
After every ride
· Check whether there is glass, sand debris and tire markings on the tire
· Check the accuracy of wheel sets
· Clean important mechanical parts on the bike
· Every week or every 320 kilometers
· Chain oil (dry lubricating oil, or wet lubricating oil for high riding frequency)
Every month
· Clean the bike completely and clean the drivetrain if necessary
· Check the chain and flywheel, check the degree of wear of the chain, and whether the chain is loose, and replace the new chain if necessary
· Check the lines of brake system and transmission
· Check for lubrication on pedals and SPD shoes
· Check for missing parts:
Tap screw
Handle screw
Lever screw (or quick removal)
saddle
Transmission screw
Kettle holder screw
Frame mounting bolt
Brake and transmission lines
Brake, shift lever screws
Brake screws (do not change the brake center)
· Check the wear degree of the tire, whether the rotation is smooth, and replace it if necessary.
· A clean to shiny bike can always be ridden faster and farther
· Check the paint on the frame and front fork for cracks or bumps, which may indicate damage to the vehicle structure or parts; Special attention should be paid to the welds of all frames
· Visually inspect the bent parts: sitting bow, seat rod, faucet handle, brake clamp and brake lever
· Check and adjust bearings, pedals and shafts (if possible: some bearing seals can only be replaced, not adjusted)
Take the car apart: Replace all bearings (if possible), and if you ride more than 6,000 miles per year, you'll have to replace all brake and transmission lines. In addition, people who ride frequently in the rain or mountain bikers need to check their bikes more frequently and thoroughly.
· Before every important ride, professional inspection and adjustment is a clear choice, which will also make the ride more enjoyable.
