Bicycle Repair Is Easy When You Consult With The Professionals


Bicycle repair is not rocket science but it does take some know-how and tools to do the job right. Even if you only intend to do minor repair and maintenance you may, first of all, want to consider getting a good repair stand. And for sure you will need some basic bicycle tools, cleaner, and a good lubricant.

Bicycle cleaning sounds like a no-brainer but there are some very important things to keep in mind. Check out tips on bicycle cleaning.

In a perfect world we would never get a flat tire but it's not a perfect world and we do occasionally have to deal with it. Learn the simple steps to change a flat tire.

You may also want to consider a 12 volt air compressor. I keep mine in the trunk of my car so it is always handy.

As a rule, I only do simple repairs and maintenance but, like a lot of us, I do like to tinker and sometimes I need advice from a professional. The subject or bike repair is far too extensive for this site so I will leave it for the experts.

A great source of very basic bicycle repair and maintenance that anyone can do is Saturday Cycle Parts

The text is simple and about as non-technical as you can get. So, anyone that can read and has a few basic tools can use this reference for routine maintenance and repairs. There are pictures to go with the text as well.

When I am stuck for an answer, or just rebuild a few brain cells, I go to Jim Langley’s Bicycle Afficianato website or Alex Ramon's BicycleTutor web site

These guys have logged thousands of hours working on bikes and have all kinds of reference material available a lot of which is free. I’m talking about tutorials, videos, help forums, live chat, and basically anything you need.
