The Gear Guy

Spring Maintenance on the Cheap

Howdy Friends,

Andy the Gear Guy here, and welcome to the 1st Ultra-helpful Gear Guy Dialogue! I'd like to tell all you loyal rscycle.com customers that getting your bike ready for the upcoming spring season doesn't have to involve two trips to the snobby bike shop, an awkward conversation with a pierced bike messenger type, or an hourly rate rivaling a VW dealership. Go independent - do it yourself!

Sure, ya might have to buy a wrench here or some grease there, and isolate yourself in the garage for the evening, away from the spouse, kids, and daily household chaos (doesn’t sound so bad,eh?) but believe me it'll be worth it. Not only will you save money and regain your sanity, but you'll learn a ton about your bike and these MacGyver-like skills will serve you for the rest of your days.

Since I am a man of the people, I am asking YOU, budding mechanics of all stripes and tax brackets, what do YOU want to know how to do? Do you need to lube your drivetrain? Tune some disc brakes? Replace a spoke? Send me your tired, your poor, your huddled questions so that I might exploit them (and answer them) for the greater good of all gearheadkind!

Don't be bashful!

-Gear Guy Andy

    Would love to know about derailleur setup and adjustments and chain repair on the trail. Also, wheel-fixing tips after a bad crash would be nice.

    Maybe this can help me and others on the trail. After all, I live to serve mankind.
