How to avoid puncturing the tires?
-
thanks for your nice video and advices
-
My tires say 50-75 psi but you say never to go less than 80. Which should I follow?
-
so I guess we should not ever lubricate our chain
-
I live in India there is so much dust should I pray W.D 40 every day
-
Replace the chain before time! Never mind the extra wear it put on other parts. If that thing snaps under extreme acceleration your going to have a really bad time, and wipe out, no matter how good you are at somehow avoiding the floor.
This very nearly killed me when it happened to me and slid me into the next lane. -
after a ride should your release some pressure of the tires? Is this only usefull when not riding for a certain period, lets say serveral weeks?
-
I could do this, or I could just pay someone to do it for me ^^
-
Spraying water all over your bike seems to do it more harm than good, just keep the moving parts clean. Frames can be covered in mud and it won't do anything.
-
I ride a fixed gear so I don't have to worry about gears and brakes and such :)
-
I absolutely loved the addition in the end of "Riding a bike you can afford"
-
Love your videos! I'm becoming an GCN addict :) Keep up the good work guys.
-
jetwashing your bike is not a good idea! Just saying!
-
Using a group set you can afford to maintain is a great tip.
-
How do you guys keep the brushes you clean the bike with clean? I find the oil and grease just clogs up whatever brush I use and it just smears the grease over even the pedals if I try cleaning them.
Degreaser doesn't even seem to clear it off the brushes either :l -
Brilliant advice with "Can You Afford That Bike?" I have a saying; "If you can't afford to crash it on Sunday and replace it on Monday, then it's too expensive."
Too many cyclists own bikes they can't afford to maintain without pain. -
Just like a cripple teaching a spastic to dance.

Thank you. I don't have any of those products but thanks to this video I now know I should and even better I know where and how I should use them. Thank you Simon
