Bicycle and Bicycle Care

        The bicycle, which many of us have met in childhood, has been used in recent years to socialize, to live well, to lose weight, to build muscles and to tiredness of urban life and to escape to nature. On the weekends, arranging tours with friends to get away from the city, or taking pictures of the tent during the summer period, riding the bike, interfering with nature and setting up tents relieved people's living space to some extent. Some of them took the bike to the focal point of their lives and began to spend all their work using bicycles. They even started to do all the work in the city by bicycle. In other countries, especially in Europe and the Far East countries, have you been or are you in the beginning of the winter season especially on the days when the bicycle is widely preferred in our country?

        For most people, this answer is no. How pleasant the bike ride is, the rancid ride is so harmful for the bike and dangerous for you. I have told you in a similar way to the Bafa Lake Nature Park in my writing. Do not say it's just bike.

         Now let's do some simple maintenance steps. If it is necessary to start with the first and simplest control;

Tire Control: Tires should be checked first. Of course, the type of bicycle you use here is also important. If you are going on an asphalt road, assuming you usually use city bikes, it's a good idea to fill it with more air. With minimal effort you can travel a lot. Or if you use it on the ground, less air on the wheels will prevent you from being disturbed. You can also see the capillary separations when brushing the wheels with a toothbrush-like brush and it's time to change. If it is time for change, you must change it. Bike can be breakable.

Chain Maintenance: The chain will start to damage your gear teeth if the chain is extended, dust has accumulated due to oil and the layer has accumulated on it. The easy way to see this visible pollution is this. Gasoline is also offering, but I am proposing with diesel. Take a paint brush and put a diesel in the container and clean the remains in the chains by dipping the brush into this mazota. It can be a bit of a hassle, the lakin will see your business for a long time. If the cleaning process is over, then it is time to lubricate. If you have not lubricated before, ie if the oil on which you are taking stops, you should lubricate it with fine oil. It is a fact that I rarely find that some prefer thick grease because it is very useful to choose fine oils because these oils are very easy to get on top of and dry with the help of a cloth after waiting for a while. There are two reasons for this. The first is to not draw on the dust we just mentioned, the second is to prevent oil splattering on the way. If your chain maintenance is over then;

Shift Gears: Clean the gear teeth. You can not find a long brush for gear teeth. For this you can use a fine cloth. It may be hard to pick up with the help of the accumulation of gums. If you have such a lot of accumulation, you should choose a long brush. If there is a small accumulation, clean it with a cloth and lubricate it with a thin oil like chain care and dry with excess oil.

Shift gears: Even if you do not observe them, your shift gears will be under the influence of water over time and start to rust. You will notice the difference in gear shifts when you apply a small amount of oil at small intervals.

Brake Maintenance: Brakes are divided into V brake, disc brake and hydraulic brake. V-brakes, ie old-fashioned brakes, are easier to maintain. It is useful to lubricate the brake levers of the V-brakes as gears. If some of the tiny tails start to break from your brake tire, replace your brake line. If the brake pads are worn (it is visible with eye), you can remove them and renew them. If you have a bicycle with a disc brake, you can use a brake cleaning spray for disc cleaning. I do not find on the recommendation that you change the average time so there is no point in changing the way you see it ineffective on the road. This period is mostly based on 1 year. If you have a bicycle with a hydraulic brake, you can go for it because you need to change hydraulic oil.

Although it is necessary to say briefly what should be done before the tour and after the tour; be careful if there is rubbery air before the round and there is a place where the overall appearance is torn cracked. After the tour, mud and similar materials should be cleaned. It is useful to stay away from pressurized water. Because water can reach the areas that should not reach much. Instead of wiping it with a damp cloth is a good job.

In general, bicycles are like cars or motorcycles when it is necessary to summarize. When maintenance time comes, they require maintenance. Doing these treatments on time will make your bicycle longevity and shut down your security. Already enjoyable tours.

I hope it was useful. See you next time.
