When you're out on the trail, miles and miles from home, you don't want any serious mechanical situations occurring with your bike. Pushing your bike up and down steep, slippery slopes is not what mountain biking is all about. You want a fun, exhilarating ride, and the best way to ensure this is by keeping your bike in good mechanical order. Here we look at a few things you should do to keep your bike in shape.

Clean your bike after each ride


Keep your chain lubricated


Lubricate your brake cables


Adjust your brakes


You should do a full service on your mountain bike periodically. The length of time between services will depend on how often, and how hard you ride, and the conditions in which you're riding. If you enjoy spending time on your bike in the great outdoors, then you'll need to be prepared to spend a little time with your bike in the garage as well.
