Bike Maintenance FAQs
How to use brake cleaner?
Spray a small amount of brake cleaner onto a clean cloth or directly onto the brake components, like discs or pads. Wipe away any dirt, grease, or oil carefully, making sure it doesn’t get on the tyres or rims. Let it dry completely before riding to make sure your brakes work safely.
Do all bike pumps fit all bikes?
Some bikes have different valves, so a pump that works on one bike might not fit another. Check your bike’s valve type before buying or get a pump that handles both types.
Do I need a special pump for my bike?
Most of the time, a normal pump works fine. If you’ve got a road bike or an e-bike, you might need one that can handle higher pressure or specific valves. Just match the pump to your bike and you’ll be good to go.
