Hello friends.
It is no secret that a bicycle, like any mechanism, requires periodic maintenance for normal operation.
Once upon a time, its maintenance did not present great difficulties; any boy, even a little versed in technology, could handle this.
Yes, and there was nothing special to service: I lubricated the chain, stuffed lubricants into the rear and front axles, tightened the creaking bolts, that's, in general, that's all.
A modern bike is a completely different matter. So many new parts and assemblies appeared in it that, one might say, it was reinvented.
What in the current bike requires maintenance and how often should it be carried out?
We will talk about this in today's article.
To begin with, I will briefly talk about the frequency of maintenance.
It will be difficult to establish a strict framework for maintenance, because each of us operates the iron horse in different ways, but it can be conditionally divided into a follow-up inspection, in-line maintenance and seasonal maintenance.
Control inspection implies a check (inspection) of the main mechanisms of the bike before leaving.
What we check:
Visually inspect the tires for damage, bumps, protruding cord. If there is a problem, we will replace it.
Check tire pressure and top up if necessary.
Having clamped the front brake, we shake the steering wheel back and forth, while play and beats should not be felt. We feel it - we tighten the upper rolling ring or the cover with the anchor.
holding front wheel between the legs, turn the steering wheel left and right, it should not turn. It turns - we tighten the tightening bolt or the bolts of the steering stem.
Brake system.
We take the wheels off the ground one by one and, turning them slightly, check if the brake pads touch the rim (disc, tire). They hurt - we adjust the tightening of the pads with bolts (after making sure that the wheel does not have the shape of a figure eight or the number 0).
When you press the brake lever (its slight play is allowed), the wheel must be securely blocked, when released, it must be unlocked (do not jam).
Brake pads should not be worn, and the wear itself should be uniform over the entire surface. The thickness of brake pads for disc brakes must not be less than 1 mm.
Chain.
We raise the rear wheel and slightly rotate the pedals, the chain should not touch the cheeks of the front derailleur, frame, connecting rods, grinding and crunches are unacceptable when switching.
If there are problems, we align (replace) the switch (front, rear), connecting rods, lubricate the chain, adjust the switching mechanism with screws.
Having installed the chain on a large front star, we pull it forward - the links should not expose the teeth by more than half. Otherwise, we tighten (shorten) it with an adjusting screw.
Stream service carried out in more detail, after approximately every 500-2000 km of run.
What we check:
Threaded connections.
Check and tighten all screw connections. While driving, extraneous noise is heard - most likely the connection has weakened somewhere and our task is to identify such a place.
Carriage.
Option "killed" carriage
We take the connecting rods and try to shake them left and right, there should be no play. There is a backlash: in a collapsible carriage - we tighten the cups, in a non-collapsible carriage - we replace the carriage.
In the case when the connecting rods themselves dangle on the carriage shaft, we tighten their attachments to the shaft, it does not help - we replace the connecting rods or the shaft (most likely, the splines are broken).
Wheel hubs.
We hold the bike vertically and try to shake the wheels left and right, there should be no play. There is a backlash - we tighten the flare nuts. It does not help - the bearings may have fallen apart and it is time to replace them.
Chain lubrication and cassette cleaning.
However, I note that you need to lubricate the chain wisely. Too much lubrication, in this case - worse than none at all.
The fact is that a large amount of it attracts more dust, dirt and sand, and they, in turn, wear out both the chain and the cassette, and other related mechanisms (brake discs, gear shifting system, etc.)
Therefore, we lubricate only the pivot joints of the chain. Those. those places that really rub against each other. Excess grease must be removed.
We remove the cassette and carefully, with a brush, we go through all the "evil" places, paying special attention to the spider (on which the stars are fixed). Then lubricate with a thin layer of grease and install back.
Wheels.
Wheels are probably the busiest parts of a bike.
From the factory conveyor, they come out perfectly even and centered, with evenly tensioned spokes.
During operation, the tension of the spokes weakens, beats, figure eights, etc. appear. In addition, from strong blows the axles of the bushings can be deformed, which further complicates the situation.
Timely tightening of the spokes, regular inspection of rims and bushings will allow you to identify a possible problem in advance and eliminate it in a timely manner.
Frame.
The frame is the load-bearing part of the bike, so it regularly has to withstand heavy loads.
Carrying loads, bumping off-road driving, aggressive driving style - all this shortens the life of the frame, which can cause cracks on it.
Most often, these are the points of connection of the lower tube of the frame with the head tube and the attachment points of the suspension, although everything here depends on the design.
If, as a result of the inspection, we found a crack in the frame, then, regrettably, it is better to replace the frame.
If the frame is steel, you can try to weld the crack with a welding machine, but even in this case, you should already think about purchasing a new one.
Welding an aluminum or titanium frame will cost a decent amount, and the carbon one will only have to be changed.
Riding with a cracked frame is life threatening. At any moment, it can burst completely.
Saddle and seat post.
"Killed" seat tube
In addition to inspecting the main parts of a bicycle, a scheduled inspection is also required by the place with which we are in contact with our own fifth point.
We inspect the saddle for the presence of gusts and delamination of the material. We glue problem areas, hem them, etc. If the problems with the saddle are more serious, we replace it.
We inspect the seatpost for kinks and cracks. If a creak is heard while driving, we remove it (the pin) from the seat tube, lubricate the part that will be in the tube and install it back.
gear shifters.
Checking the condition of the gear switches is reduced to their visual inspection for the absence of obvious damage and checking in motion for the absence of clanging and crunches when shifting gears, as well as their lubrication.
If there is a clanging - most likely, you need to tighten the switch cable, if there is a crunch - we are not switching correctly or the switch adjustment has gone astray.
I will share how to properly adjust the gear shifters in a separate article, so I recommend subscribing to blog updates.
Brake system.
Checking the brake systems, as we said above, should be carried out before each departure.
If there are no problems with the brakes, this is excellent, but despite this, from time to time you need to clean them, replace worn pads, tighten the cables and generally adjust the brakes.
Hydraulic brakes must be bled at least once a season to remove possible air leaks.
Shifters and cables.
Although these mechanisms generally bear little stress, they also require cleaning and lubrication.
We clean and lubricate the shifters, check the cables and shirts for gusts, lubricate with liquid lubricant, trying to get it (grease) under the shirt.
Seasonal maintenance is held twice a year: during the transition to summer and winter periods operation.
During seasonal maintenance, we carry out all the above checks, as well as some additional ones.
Saddle.
In order for it to last longer and not lose its shape after exposure to moisture, we wipe it well, remove dirt and dry it, after which we impregnate special tool to protect leather goods.
We carry out drying without direct exposure to heat (for example, a hair dryer), otherwise the saddle will wrinkle.
Suspension.
Although the suspension elements are protected from external factors by anthers, in the autumn-winter period it becomes more difficult for them to do their job.
The reason for this is high humidity, dirt, salt which is sprinkled on roads and other external irritants.
The gradual penetration of these irritants into the lubrication of the suspension elements can cause (and does cause) scuffing of the mirror surfaces, and this, in turn, has a bad effect on the operation of the suspension.
Seasonal oil changes in the front and rear shock absorbers will help our suspension last longer.
If you don’t have a bike yet, but really want to, I can recommend mountain bikes in St. Petersburg. In addition, on this resource you will find a lot of related bike accessories at reasonable prices.
Which "kind" are you? I propose to write in the comments under the article.
And that's all I have today.
Happy rides.
Sincerely, Sergey Drozdov

The main task of every cyclist is to ensure their own safety when leaving the road. Sometimes a seemingly fully serviceable vehicle may require repair of its individual parts, lubrication of parts, inflating wheels or replacing tires. A professional bike cleaning service before the start of the Veloremont season will allow you to ride without thinking about your safety.
Professional bike repair
Many owners try to repair the bicycle wheel, chain, brakes, etc. on their own. Often this causes great difficulties, because for the correct assembly and troubleshooting of specific problems, certain experience, appropriate equipment and a set of tools are required. In addition, not knowing the features of the production of domestic and foreign models, in addition to one problem, you can create another new one. That is why it is better to leave such a mission to specialists who will do everything to the highest standard.
The personal comfort of the cyclist depends on how his main parts are configured. When adjusting the saddle and pedals, it is important to consider the height of the owner. Surprised that such a detail can also affect the quality of the ride? Masters will help you create the most comfortable conditions for movement and tell you the secrets of bike care.
Do you still doubt whether it is worth contacting a workshop or repairing a bicycle hub, chain, brake system or other things yourself? Then here are a few reasons why it is better to give preference to specialists:
When an unscheduled departure occurred, it turned out that the two-wheeled vehicle needed repair, and the right tools for repairs, no - it doesn’t matter, the workshop will help to urgently put the bike in order, without the need to postpone important matters for later.
The steering wheel does not obey and a strange sound is heard - what to do? Turn to specialists with extensive experience, they will quickly find the cause and repair the highway of a bicycle or other part in a short time.
Do you think professional services are expensive? Then we will please you: sometimes they cost several times cheaper than fixing mistakes made during self-repair.
Did something go wrong again? Qualified support, maintenance of bicycles in the workshop will not give you a reason to worry and will help to extend the life of the vehicle.
Repairing a bike tube may seem like the easiest task that anyone can do. However, it is not.

Any vehicle consists of components and parts subject to natural wear and tear during operation. The bicycle is no exception. The more complex the design, the more attention should be paid to caring for a two-wheeled machine. Proper and timely maintenance of the bike can extend the life and reduce repair costs. More importantly, this increases the reliability of equipment and the safety of the owner.
The period of time after which maintenance should be carried out on the bicycle varies depending on the complexity of the design and operating conditions. If, following the example of cars, we start from the mileage, then it ranges from 500 - 1000 km to 1500 - 2000 km. On average, for example, service mountain bike, which includes a bulkhead of all nodes, is recommended to be done at the end of each season.
Significantly reduce the cost of bicycle repair, in addition to annual preventive maintenance, regular inspection of the main mechanisms will help.
current control
A simple check of the technical condition of the most important systems can be carried out independently, without spending a lot of time on it. If the bike is used constantly, then in the morning before leaving, or in the evening, after the end of the trips, it is advisable to check the following nodes:
Steering column - fix the front wheel with a brake, then rock the bike back and forth, keeping your palm at the junction of the cup and the steering column cover. In this place, play should not be felt;
Carriage assembly - holding the connecting rods with your hands, try to shake the mechanism. No play should be felt in any of the joints;
Wheel hubs - holding the bike in vertical position, try to shake the wheels by holding the tire. Backlash should not be felt;
Brake system - raise the wheels one by one and check if the pads are touching the tire (rim, brake disc). Also pay attention to the play in the brake levers - it may be present, but should not be very large. Make sure that the wear of the pads does not exceed the established limits: for rim systems - transverse valleys should be observed, the thickness of the pads for disc brakes - at least 1mm;
Chain - when checking, it should be on a large drive sprocket. Try to pull the chain forward as far as possible. The links should not come off the teeth more than half.
If during the inspection deviations from the norm are found (backlashes, increased wear, etc.), you must immediately fix the problem yourself or contact a workshop where bicycles are repaired with high quality.
Regular maintenance
To increase the service life of components and parts subject to natural wear and tear, regular maintenance of the bicycle will allow. Within its framework, the following works are carried out:
Checking tire pressure - reduced pressure leads to accelerated tire wear, increased rolling resistance, and also increases the risk of rim damage when driving on uneven surfaces;
Checking the rim geometry - if during the rotation of the wheel vibrations of the side surface of the rim (not the tire!) are noticeable, exceeding 0.5 - 2.5 mm, you should contact the workshop, where they will tighten the spokes to eliminate the defect. The runout of the rim leads to disruptions in the operation of the brakes and accelerated wear of the wheel hub;
Checking threaded connections - clean them from ingress of dirt, check if the nuts are loose;
Shock absorbers - clean the anthers from dirt and excess grease falling on them. In oil shock absorbers, the working fluid should be changed on average once every two years. With intensive use - once a year;
Chain - clean and lubricate the links during operation. Replace the chain in time - its resource (depending on the type of bike and its level) ranges from 700 to 2,000 km. Riding with a stretched chain causes accelerated wear on the sprockets (especially the driven unit), resulting in costly repairs.
Preservation - at the end of the season, clean all surfaces of the bicycle assemblies and parts from dirt, lubricate the chain, lower the tire pressure to 1 atm. The frame can be coated with a paint protection agent. It is better to store the bike in a suspended state.
