Bike maintenance

To always be at the top and to better answer to the solicitations which we submit it during long trainings and in competition, also our bike needs periodic cares and particular attentions. Not even in fact it is exempt from the aging, and to periodically check its health will be precious also to guarantee yours.
Besides, a bike in good conditions offers best performances. Not by chance, in the professional teams the mechanics spent every day in a long "ritual" of cleanings to put to new the riders' bikes after every race. You begin with a general washing of the bike frame, to continue then with some important shrewdness as the lubrication of transmission gears, pinions and chain.
Well clean and oiled after every use, your bike will be more efficient and less predisposed to incur in possible mechanical problems. Besides cleaning and lubrication, bikes need then other check-ups less frequently. At least once a month it will be opportune to verify the state of the mechanic parts more important. Brakes are for example among the components more solicited, and periodically it is recommended to clean them and verify the state of their cables.
It is also important to periodically verificy the wheels, both to verify the conditions of their structure that to regulate the pressure of tarpaulins. If some important parts as tarpaulins or pedals are cracked they must be replaced as soon as possible. With a bike in good health, you will ride it with more calm. If you don't get habitually time to devote to check-up your bike, a cycle tourism holiday will be the right occasion. Bring it with you: the Riccione Bike Hotels will also know how to recommend you about exchanges-retailers near the hotel.
