Bike Repair
Straightening a bike wheel is more of an art than a science, but it is a skill anyone can learn with enough practice. The most common wheel problem is a lateral or sideways bend. For a bike wheel laterally out of true, this is what you do: Leave the wheel on the bike and the tire and tube inflated. Hang the bike up. Turn the wheel around until you find the area which is the most bent. Use the brake pads (perhaps adjusted closer) or a pencil held next to the ... [View]

Our philosophy: It's dangerous to treat your bike as a mechanical mystery. Keeping your bike in good condition, well-tuned and well-maintained, makes you a safer biker.

After all, the bike shop won't be there when your brakes fail in the middle of the Slickrock Trail. Our hope: That someday bikes will be sold with a manual ... [View]

Many younger mechanics are unfamiliar with some of the idiosyncrasies of English-made 3-speed bikes. Nevertheless, there are an awful lot of them still on the road, because they were built to last, and they still come in for repair. An all-around bike mechanic should be up to speed on these bikes. These bikes are actually very easy to work on, but you do need to know a few of their quirks. The synchronizing chain on a tandem is usually adjusted by an ... [View]

The Bike Shop Advantage
Thinking of a new bicycle? One of your first choices, and not necessarily an easy one, will be where to shop. It can be a challenge because there are a myriad of stores that carry two-wheelers, from specialty retailers, to giant department stores, to backyard garage operations. Where you buy, however, has everything to do with what you get. You see, bicycles aren't like blenders and microwaves. Bikes are shipped in boxes and they must be assembled and tuned.

Bike maintenance - to many, nothing to be overly concerned with. But for some, and I include myself here, keeping your bike running as smooth as the day it left the bike shop can be a slightly tricky, sometimes annoying, task. While there are plenty of bike setup and maintenance books propping up the shelves at most well-stocked book shops, perhaps the best way to learn the art of correctly indexing your gears, removing a bottom bracket or fixing a puncture is to learn from somebody ...

DIY Home Bicycle Repair Stand
This is a wonderful idea. I was going to buy one of those professional stands until I read this how-to. Here's a thought concerning adding a clamp to this design. Home Depot (or wherever) sells pipe clamps -- as in vises that mount to pipe ends. You can use about an 8" piece of pipe and a pipe clamp instead the two-pronged setup, or you could even use both. I turned the top of the stand into two sides: one has a clamp and the other has the two-pronged stand. It's a ... [View]

Scott's Daily Cycling Tip
- No one likes to ride with an unpredictable cyclist, a rider who weaves or swerves. Fortunately, there's a cure for this dangerous condition. Most wobbles comes from upper-body tension. If you can just relax your neck, shoulders, arms and hands while biking, you'll find that you're a lot less likely to weave; and people won't act like you have bad breath when you call and invite them to ride with you. Two tension busters are regularly shrugging your shoulders and bending your elbows. What ... [View]
