Bike Helmet
I met one of my clients recently Triathlon New and noticed 7 things to the quick 5 minutes of your triathlon bike (this was after I asked her to bring your bike to one of his training to swimming). We hope you can learn from these 7 items:
1. Basic Bicycle Maintenance triathlon. The first thing I noticed was his chain – which was rusty. Six drops of chain lube could have prevented this rust. Beginner triathletes often know little maintenance Bicycle at the base. The chain should be cleaned and lubricated when dirty. Your local bike shop can provide some suggestions of things about cleaning solutions and lubricants Use your triathlon bike.
2. Friction brakes. The second thing I noticed was his front brake was rubbing the wheel. This was mainly because the bike was shipped in bulk in the back of a truck. The first rule is to secure your bike if you put in your vehicle (a rubber mat if you are confined lying in the car – a bike rack is better). Secondly, always check your brakes before you start your trip (especially if taken outside of its wheels for transport bicycle). You can test this by taking the wheel of the earth and the spinning disk. If there is a problem, the wheel does not spin freely – you will feel vibrations through friction or hearing, and the wheel will slow down. If the friction brake is to check if the wheel is set correctly (you can also slightly adjust the handbrake). If the brakes are rubbing still want a bike shop control If your rim is bent and must be corrected.
3. Supplies of scrip. Your supplies saddlebag were: cell phone and keys. Not good. Make sure you have at least one spare inner tube the right size (you can find the size of side of the bike tires), tire levers, some air supply (either a CO2 cartridge or a bicycle pump), and a few dollars. Other good things to consider are the tubes of a repair kit and a set of hex keys. The cell phone and identification are also a good idea.
4. An eye protection. There was a pair of sunglasses or other eye protection. You must have your eyes protected, not only the sun, but a 50 mph Rock or insects. Not only cause discomfort but can result in an accident with another cyclist or even worse a vehicle. It is equally important that a motorcycle helmet (has the bicycle helmet right?)
5. Tire Pressure. The tire pressure was about half the recommended pressure. Check the flank Tire – which will give you the recommended pressure range. Get a foot pump with pressure gauge Nice for you to inflate tires properly before driving. Tires busy creating a low rolling resistance – and you travel faster with less effort. But be careful not to overfill the tire – Which is another good way to get an apartment.
6. Learning how to repair a puncture. Please do not triathletes whose flat repair kit is a cell phone (and get a plane). See the video above where I show the right way to fix a bicycle flat.
7. See, hear and feel. We in what was to seek, but while driving the bike be sure to hear the clicks, squeaks and friction. If you hear nothing feel so pay attention. These indices are fire insurance there is something wrong. Most are things that can be easily fixed by your local bike shop. But left unattended they could slow down and eventually may cause some rest.
I worked at a bike shop in San Luis, when I was in college. It is important to find a repair shop you can trust. Ask people in your local bicycle club for recommendations. Do not assume that the bike is ready to go when I get home. Reread the bike together to ensure that all work and strengthening. Once find a good bike shop, take your bike on a regular basis to – develop and test a whole. You get a lot miles, and pleasure (well, maybe pleasure is too strong …) well maintained on a target = “_new” rel = “nofollow” href = “http://www.coach-janet.com/bike -triathlon.html “> triathlon bike.
