How often do you check your tyres, chain, etc?

Chain whats that?

Don't you adjust and lube yer belt?

[unstuck]

Depends how lazy or stoned I feel, sometimes with the road bike I will check the tyre pressure everytime I go for a ride and lube the chain when I get home when the chain is nice and warm, sometimes it might be a week or two between checks and lube. Dirtbike gets chain and cables lubed after every ride.

Why are you asking ?

I check the tyres before each ride, which is at most weekly these days. Chain lube done at roughly 600km intervals which equates to about every 3rd tank

Starter button? My bike doesn't have one of those...

Oh damn umm so yeah, I never check tyre pressure (probably why I suck on corners) but hey I lube they chain every week maybe 400-500k's
Give it a good clean with some kerosene too with a chain brush i got from cycletreads every now n again.

I"m going to go out and check my tyre pressures tomorrow!!

I have a tyre pressure sensor and scott oiler so life is easy (and relatively safe) for me!

[p.dath]

I lube my chain after each ride where I fill up with fuel (and I fill up about once a week), or if I go for a long ride I put a small amount of lube on afterwards.


My tyre pressures don't change much. I used to check them weekly, but I now only do it about once a month.

I check the tyres every time I go out to the garage for a smoke - so once every hour or so.

There's been two each time but ya can't be too careful

Chain? People still use chains? gack

Since that is not an option in this house I generally check before each ride (sometimes its a few weeks between rides)

Don't you adjust and lube yer belt?

I check and change the oil for the primary drive chain every 16,000 km and check the the belt drive every 8,000 km.

Thats enough fucking around, why anybody would buy a vehicle that needs maintenance every week is beyond me.

I check my tyre pressures when the bike starts to corner funny.

I look at the chain when it starts making funny noises when I chop down a gear.

I wash the bike when I can't read what make it is any more.
