Let us know in the comments 👇 Dan goes through pre-ride checks that he recommends you do too, these include: - Checking tyre pressure, reduces risk of puncturing - Quick release skewers, make sure they are done up - Brakes, make sure they brake pads are not rubbing on the rims - Check your bolts, not necessary before every ride but advisable periodically - Headsets can come loose if not tightened correctly, a nice easy fix for smooth steering - Lubrication is essential for your sanity! There is nothing more horrid than a squeaky/noisy chain. If you'd like to contribute captions and video info in your language, here's the link 👍 http://gcn.eu/er Watch more on GCN...
