Fit for the season: Our Rückenwind bicycle check!

It doesn’t take much to perform a perfect bike check.

The following Equipment should always be provided:

Cleaning cloths and sponge
Toothbrush
Oil and grease
Air pump
Repair gadget and bicycle tube
Replacement part if necessary

Your perfect start into the new bicycle season

At first, we recommend to remove all dirt and dust from the bicycle. Not only do you make the wheel shine, but you can even detect small defects in a short time.

1st Step

Is there enough tread on the tyre? Have there been any cracks in the mantle?

Is there still enough air on it?

Check the optical condition of the tyre in advance.

If the tyres are worn or there are cracks in the jacket, it is high time for a new bicycle tyre.

With a new bicycle tire, the risk of breakdowns is rather limited and you can ride much easier and safer.

2nd Step

Are the brake pads still okay? Is there any braking effect?

The top priority is of course the bicycle brake!

A small tip from us: Check briefly whether the braking distance remains crisp.

A common part of wear on the brakes is the brake pads. These can be easily replaced with rim brakes.

If the markings on the coverings are worn out, it is time to renew the coverings. More complex repairs, such as disc brakes, should always be carried out by a specialist.

After that, check the brakes. Free the brake trains of any dirt and rust. Re-grease your brake trains if they are heavy.

You can use creeping grease for re-greasing.

3rd Step

Is the bicycle chain cleaned and oiled?

The precondition for a reliable bike tour is of course the drive.

Run the bicycle chain through an old rag or rag so that the dirt comes off the chain.

Now check whether the bike chain runs smoothly over the timing belt. Once the dirt has been removed, you should oil the chain.

To do this, inject a drop of oil into each chain element and then let the chain run through idle a few times.
