Tips For Road Bikes Maintenance

A clean bike will function better than a dirty one and is a pleasure to work on. Before you start any bike maintenance you have to clean your bike, that doesn?t mean a bit of wipe with a cloth, you have to clean it properly and there are a few things you need to do the job, you might have to buy some equipment, but most of it can be found around the house, try under the sink, but don?t let your wife/mother catch you.
First what equipment do you need
? A bike workstand or handy tree/washing line to hang your bike on.
? Old rear hub or old axle or stick.
