If you don&#8217;t have time to get it fully serviced then never fear for we have compiled the ultimate guide to home maintenance.<\/h4>\n<h4>Clean your Bike<\/h4>\n<p>Cleaning your pride and joy is one of the simplest but best things you can do for it.<br \/>\nA clean bike is often a reliable one. Give your bike a thorough clean after your final training ride. Pay\u00a0close attention to all components while you\u2019re there\u00a0looking\u00a0closely at the frame, checking for wear or cracks along with inspecting forks, fittings, mounts, pedals and the drivetrain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2087\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2087\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spray-on-cleaner.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning your pride and joy is one of the simplest but best things you can do for it.\" width=\"300\" height=\"366\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cleaning your pride and joy is one of the simplest but best things you can do for it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Check your Tyres &amp; Brakes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Closely study both the front and rear tyres. Look for wear, flat spots, any foreign objects that may have been picked up on a recent ride?<\/p>\n<p>Check your brake\u00a0pads. Is there plenty of life let in them? Are they wearing evenly? If the pads are still OK ensure they are making correct and even contact with the rim. Adjust if required.<\/p>\n<p>If you do replace your pads prior to the ride pay close attention to pad\u00a0orientation and always ensure the open end faces toward the rear of the bike. Check the back of the new pads for L or R and fit them to the correct side of the calliper. While you are there check your rim for wear. Like brake pads, most rims have wear indicators. If the wear indicator is gone, the rim needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n<h4>Check Your Chain<\/h4>\n<p>Nothing lasts forever, particularly a bike chain. One of the bike&#8217;s most critical components, the chain is often overlooked when performing routine checks prior to a ride. Chains should be cleaned, thoroughly checked and properly lubricated regularly. With a life of around 2000kms depending upon conditions and where you ride, if in doubt change it.<\/p>\n<p>Wipe your chain and re-lube it after every second ride and particularly before a big event such as the Bowral Classic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2088\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2088\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wipe-Chain_916D5A50-68CF-11E5-952A02DB0C18E4C3.jpg\" alt=\"Wipe your chain and re-lube it after every second ride and particularly before a bif event such as the Bowral Classic.\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wipe your chain and re-lube it after every second ride and particularly before a big event such as the Bowral Classic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Check Your Quick Release Skewers<\/h4>\n<p>Quick releases can be a magnet for dirt and grime. Carefully clean around your skewers when preparing your bike for an upcoming ride or event. The cam action of a traditional quick-release system is all that\u2019s keeping your wheels under you so ensure these are correctly adjusted and tensioned. Tighten the nut (not the skewer) to a point that the skewer can be pushed\u00a0firmly into the locked position.<\/p>\n<h4>Check Your Hex Head Bolts<\/h4>\n<p>Ensure all hex bolts are tight and set at the tensions recommended by the manufacturer.<br \/>\nAll bike owners should have\u00a0a decent set of Allen keys. Check all bolts as, over time, it\u2019s surprising what will gradually come loose.\u00a0Stick to the recommended torque settings, especially with carbon.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2086\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2086\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/http-yaffa-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com-yaffadsp-images-dmImage-SourceImage-hex4.jpg\" alt=\"Ensure all hex bolts are tight and set at the tensions recommended by the manufacturer.\" width=\"630\" height=\"473\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2086\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ensure all hex bolts are tight and set at the tensions recommended by the manufacturer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Book A Service At Your Local Bike Shop<\/h4>\n<p>Finally &#8211; nobody knows a bike like a trained bicycle mechanic. Most bike shops offer various levels of a bike service &#8211; from a quick check and tune up (recommended prior to a race or ride) through to a full strip down and rebuild. One of life\u2019s sweet pleasures, it must be said, is the feeling of being back on your bike after it\u2019s been thoroughly serviced by a trained bike mechanic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Bowral Classic just over a week away it&#8217;s important that you have your bike in tip top shape.
