Hi there Rod from Sports Adventure
Today I want to walk through to show you how to do it pre-ride check of your mountain bike.
Firstly
Quickly go over your bike checking the frame
make sure there’s no cracks nothing’s bent or out of alignment
there’s nothing loose or wobbly that needs adjusting or tightening
Wheels a true straight and there is no damaged spokes
Secondly
Tyre pressure – check the tire pressure is adequate for where you are riding and your weight
Thirdly
Lube your chain – make sure your chain is well lubed and clean
Fourthly
Gear change – make sure your front and rear derailleurs are changing cleanly. It’ll save a lot of frustration on the trails.
Next
Brakes – make sure your front and rear brakes are adjusted and working well.
And finally check your suspension – make sure your front and rear suspension for dual suspension bikes is clean, adjusted with the correct air pressure and lightly greased ready for your next ride.
So keep in touch and get out on the trails.
