Cycling UK has produced a series of easily accessible video guides on maintenance and road safety. In this guide, we cover what to do if you run into a mechanical problem while out on your ride.
While out riding you might encounter problems with your bike but some of these issues can be easily solved, although you might need a multi-tool.
Gear adjustment
During your ride you may find your gears don’t shift properly.
If the shifting feels slow and unresponsive, or there’s a crunching sound, it may be your gears are badly adjusted.
The gear barrel adjusters allow you to make small adjustments to the cable tension and which in most cases will solve your gear problems. The video shows you exactly how.
