The warm weather is just around the corner and the urge to grab your bike and go is growing.
The bicycle is a mechanical means of transport and, like all mechanical means of transport, needs maintenance and careful inspection before it is used.
Five minutes invested in the maintenance of your bicycle can prevent short- and long-term damage and also allow you to go out pedalling safe from nasty surprises.
With a little familiarity, routine maintenance is easy to do yourself. Even if the bike is efficient, once a year it is worth renewing some parts depending on how it is used.
Before doing any work it is always advisable to have a good cleaning. Only after this operation can you have a precise idea of the situation of the whole bike.
Cleaning the bike and drying it is the best way to observe all its details and intercept any problems.
After home repairs there are those that we usually leave to the mechanic, the mechanic's workshop equipped with tools that can act on the components of our bike without the risk of damaging it.
By placing the bike on the special stand, it is possible to overhaul the bottom bracket without the risk of acting badly and damaging something.
Overhauling a bottom bracket requires specific keys that cannot be improvised with other tools.
As well as checking the headset, the mechanic will also carry out a complete check-up of all those parts on which the rider's safety directly depends: from the state of the handlebar bend of the stem, to the situation of the seatpost.
Stop by for a thorough inspection at the shop in Desenzano del Garda, the repairs carried out on your bicycles receive the same attention and care from puncture to complete overhaul.
