Um, how do I say this politely... Clean your bike!
A bit of cleaning, not even deep cleaning, can go along way to preserving your bike and keeping it running smoothly.
This beauty Trek Cruiser came into the shop for a tune up. It mostly just needed to be cleaned 🤨. I ran the chain and cassette through the Ultrasonic cleaner for about 30 mins and it was still dirty!
Other work I did on this bike included:
- Rear derailleur not shifting correctly. Adjusting the rear derailleur cable tension and re-indexing to get full range of shifting.
- Rear wheel not spinning freely / bearings too tight. Adjusted the bearings on the rear wheel to improve free spin.
Ride Free!
