bedshaped Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I've got a TREK and I just wheel it upstairs and keep it in the apartment. It needs more air like every 2 weeks? It's a hybrid, so a cross between racing bike and mountain bike. Quite quick and comfortable in the city. Before the virus I'd do about 20 miles a week with no sweat!

A few years ago I rode hard tail (dirt jumps) and also worked as a bicycle mechanics for one semester but when I started studying that activity got lost. Two weeks ago I took cycling in manner again and bought a road racer as a perfect hobby now when corona's all around. Since then I've been watching GCN to get tips on how to maintain and ride the bike in the most optimal way and I must say that from earlier experience as well as my empirical perception of the tips they've given me; they know what they're doing. Furthermore they will give you "life hack" tips that will save you the time, effort and money from buying expensive bike tools. Keep watching and enjoy their vids man! What do you use to clean your chain? Use a kit or what? I’ve only driven a car so I’m tempted to use some engine oil on my chain. what tools you use for that?

Only issue is the fucking lock getting stuck when it's cold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
