Spring is sprung and that means hitting the roads and trails again. There are a few items you should check on your bike before that first ride to have a great time.
1. Tire Pressure
You want to make sure that you have the right tire pressure for your wheels. This will also show you if you need a new tube if the tire does not hold air. You may want to get a new floor pump to make this easier. The KO Apex is a great floor pump that can keep your tires at perfect pressure and any other balls or sporting equipment. At just under $50 this is a great value to add to your space.
2. Chain Condition
If you have been riding inside or not spring is a great time to check your chain out. We recommend cleaning the chain and giving it a new layer of lubricant. If there is significant rust or damage to the chain it may be time to replace the chain.The Pro Chain Cleaner kit comes with all the solvents and new lubrication that you need. At under $40 dollars it is the best way to get all the parts you need. We also have an assortment of chains to replace yous if it is beyond cleaning.
3. Brake Engagement
Another area to check is making sure when you squeeze your brakes the bike slows down when you need it to.
4. Tune Up
Many people start their cycling season with a tune up to make sure that everything is functioning properly. We offer a few levels of tune up to meet your needs.
After you have your ride ready to go join us for the Grand Opening Celebration Ride for Brockport.We will be rolling along the historic Erie Canal.
Also check out our flat clinics that will be held throughout the month of April. More details to come.
