When purchasing a new bike, be sure to consider its maintenance. Various tools can help with this.
-
Pump. It will make travel more comfortable and safe. It is recommended to have two pumps: a small one for travel and a stationary floor pump for home use. From portable pumps it is better to choose rechargeable ones.
-
Camera Repair Kit. At home, you should have a set of adhesive and rubber patches and self-adhesive patches (for quickly fixing the bike while riding) in your backpack.
-
Keys. You can put a set of bicycle hexagons in the backpack. At home, you should have your own special toolbox in a bag. It will allow you to repair everything yourself, without going to the workshop. If you are an advanced cyclist, you can take a closer look at the hydraulic brake pumping kit.
-
lubricant. Bicycle chains need to be lubricated from time to time. For example, lubrication every 100 kilometers is a prerequisite. Otherwise, during the trip you will encounter whistling of the chains, their rapid wear, stretching of the links. You can buy a can of aerosol lubricant for the home, and if you want to repair the bike yourself, you’ll also need to buy grease for the remaining components.
-
bike storage accessories. If you live in an apartment, the easiest way is to hang the bike on a wall bracket. It also makes sense to buy a special bag for transportation for traveling by plane and train.
