This plus this. After every ride I wipe the chain down with a dry microfiber rags. Nothing on the outside of the chain needs to be there. Twice a week (about 12 hours of riding) I apply some of the T-9, let it sit, and wipe clean. Also wipe off the jockey wheels. In my opinion, the key to a clean drive train is lubing after rides and letting it dry (after wiping excess off), not right before you go out.

^I ^love ^a ^silent ^ride.

No. WD-40 is a water displacer, not a lubricant. It will actually strip away the oil from your bike parts and leave them rubbing metal-on-metal. Get some real bike lube like T-9.

Looks like a very practical bike, though if that saddle height is right the bike may be a bit large. If your legs are more than a little bent at the bottom of the stroke it's hard on the knees and a lot of extra effort. If you have it low to keep your feet on the ground starting/stopping, try standing in front of the saddle when you're stopped, only sitting down once you're going.

Those flat fenders are definitely better than nothing but not actually good; spray from the wheel gets thrown sideways at you. If you do plan all-weather riding, get some good, long fenders, like SKS Longboards. The front fender needs to be lower than 9 o'clock to keep dirty spray off your feet and chaingear.

A lot of U-locks come with fixtures for attaching them to the frame - tidy and convenient.

Since this is your first bike, any time you wonder about adjusting or fixing something, check out http://sheldonbrown.com. It's a treasure trove for maintenance and repair, starting with chain lubing and fixing flats. It's very satisfying and quite easy to become self-sufficient to a some level, leaving visiting the bike shop for more major work.

First things I'd consider getting, in order:

  • lube (I love Boeshield T-9) - lube pays for itself rapidly in reduced wear.
  • pump
  • puncture repair kit (but only if you learn & practice how to use it)
  • multi-tool

    Either get a puncture repair kit with tire levers, or a multi-tool including tire levers.

    When you understand your bike and can keep it running smoothly, you love it ever more.

A single speed will be great for getting around Madison and will require a minimum of maintenance. The two big things are keeping your tires inflated and keeping your chain lubricated and clean. If you have a floor pump for your tires great, otherwise there are tons of places that offer free air for bikes (bike shops, etc.). A small drop of this or similar on each chain link once a week followed by a thorough wipe down will keep your drive train happy. Do this more often if you're frequently riding in the rain or dusty/muddy/dirty conditions.

Fenders. You probably want them if you're going to be relying on your bike to commute and don't want to arrive at your destination with a mud stain going up your back. Plus they'll keep your bike cleaner.

If it's within your budget, I recommend getting lights that are USB rechargeable. I have a NiteRider Solas 2 tail light which I think I paid $45 for at my local bike store, but you can get it on Amazon for $34. It's a great light, you never have to worry about buying batteries, and mother earth will love you. I generally just bring mine into work with me and plug them into my computer during the work day so they're always fully charged and at peak brightness.

Other than that, any bike shop will have a paper fold-out map of all the bike lanes and routes around Madison. Google Maps can be useful too, though I still haven't figure out how to get the new version to just show all bike routes without putting in start/end addresses.

12" pin to pin and you're set. Just throw on some chain lube. That stuff is good all around the house as well.

So I use my road bike as my means of transportation, I recently bought new tires and forgot to buy new tubes, the bike is a 74 schwinn le tour and the tires are 27 1/4. I was wondering what size tubing to use, also if I was looking to buy chain lubricant do you think this is ok? Thanks for any suggestions/help!

If you haven't the tools to get at the pawls, not to mention putting things back together... your local bike shop should be able to take care of it with some Lubriplate Mag-1 (expensive grease), ParkTool Grease (great stuff), Phil Wood Grease (amazing stuff) or perhaps some Boshield T-9 lube (light lube).

u/Gnascher · 1 pointr/bicycling

I like Boeshield T-9 for dry conditions, and Progold Xtreme for wet.

u/DonOblivious · 1 pointr/bikewrench

You can clean up the spoke rust with some steel wool or tinfoil. They'll look nicer at least :)

I rub anything that's prone to rusting (like my cheap spokes!) with an oily shop rag after cleaning the bike. Boeshield is a great anti-corrosion product that also happens to be a good bike chain lube. Drip type > aerosol

Here is my work bench. At this point, I can build and tear down bikes. I just replace a headset yesterday, and I have all the tools, for example. So, it's probably overkill for most other people. There are a few things I cannot do, and it's because the tools are too exotic, like BB86 press fit bearing remover, threading the threaded fork, etc.

  • I started from a Nashbar's deluxe tool kit but I think this one is way better.
  • A repair stand is really nice to have, and I'd recommend the Feedback sports' stand.
  • Torque wrench - I bought one from Nashbar.com. Wait until they do 20% or more off day. I also have a 5Nm torque wrench - similar to this one. For handlebar adjustment, this makes life a lot easier. You can get away with just 5Nm one for most cases.
  • Stanlay locking adjustable wrench. I use this for so many situation, like installing bottom bracket and headset.
  • Combination and box wrenches - any brand
  • Ratchet wrenches 8mm - 12mm. Go find cheap ones on ebay. Makes life a lot easier.
  • Ryobi 18v inflator with SKS presta adapter.
  • Park tool master linke plier
  • Progold grease
  • T9 oil
  • Wheel stand

    I also have Nashbar's crown race installer, remover, headset cup press and remover, and steering tube cutting guide. Head set cup press is rather expensive so unless you are going to service the headset multiple times, it's better to use LBS or bike coop.
