Sweat is corrosive. If you've been on the trainer all winter, your headset bolts, stem faceplate, and front hub are sitting in a salt bath. Here's exactly what to clean and how often.

Schwalbe just fixed the Presta valve after 130 years. As a mechanic who's dealt with bent valve pins, frozen lock nuts, and sealant-clogged cores for 20 years, this is genuinely the most interesting thing to happen to bike inflation.

CHECK & PUMP IT...there are lots of wheel and tyre combinations that require different pressures but it's always good to know what's best for your setup.

It's common in the workshop that people haven't checked their tyre pressures for quite some time.

It's always good practice to check as much as you can before you ride. Stay safe.
