With the last bank holiday of the summer just around the corner it’s the perfect time to get on the bike with family, friends or just for some extra training.

Updating your bar tape

Whether the grip has worn down or you just fancy a change, wrapping handlebar tape is an easy skill to learn. But just how do you update your tape? What kind of tape do you need? This handy guide answers all those questions, whilst also giving you step-by-step photos to follow, to give your bike a fresh look in no time.

Checking your chain

Do you know how often your chain needs to be replaced? Are you someone who changes theirs on the regular and to its exact life span? Replacing your bike chain can be like getting the boiler serviced; you don’t bother until it’s too late and then it ends up costing far more than it should have. Follow these simple steps to checking your chain and avoid costly damage to your bike.
