Bike maintenance video’s
Once again, you-tube will give us some simple explanations by showing some vids.
I found a couple of you-tube bike maintenance vids. pretty handy if you ever get mechanical problems in an place far far away from any mechanical bike shop.
I had on a trip through Italy, my spokes gave way under the pressure of my luggage and I had to fix them myself. Using a spoke wrench, my home bought spare spokes and my very good hearing helped me back on the road.
Funny thing was, I had no idea how I could fix the spoke and keep my wheel from falling apart on the next bump in the road, I figured that the tune of the tension on the spokes should be the same, so with a little bit of gut feeling I began to put tension on the spokes and tried to get all the tunes in line…… luckily in knew how to turn my spokes to get them tight or loose. but if you don’t watch the vid below.
about tuning your wheels, fixing spokes etc.
for the really beginners here’s a vid about fixing your flat tires.
This I can show when my girlfriend is asking me again if I can fix her tire… tiring
