5 ways to love your bike this Valentine’s Day

Whether or not you have a significant other to enjoy Valentine’s Day with this year, you can always count on your bike to be there for you.

Here are 5 ways you can show your bike some real love:

1. Put a ring on it. 2 rings actually. Ok I mean RIMS. A wheel upgrade is the nicest thing you can treat your bike to. (Send me a message to enquire now)
2. Get it wet. Yes, wash the thing. A clean bike is quieter to ride and looks better, obviously. Try not to use a pressure-washer near the bearings in your BB, hubs and headset.
3. Use lube. A clean, lubed chain is quieter to ride and lasts longer. SO will your cassette and chainrings. Remember to check your chain’s wear by using a wear indicator or chain-checker and replace when it reaches 0.75%.
4. Use protection. A product like Bike Shield will help your frame look better for longer. Helmets are always recommended, as are sunglasses, gloves and sunscreen.
5. Ride her hard. Your bike loves to be ridden. Let’s be honest, she was made for it. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine’s Day from WheelBuilder!
