  • Need Cycle maintainence tips

    Hi guys,

    Can anyone help with taking care of the basics of a bike maintainence? I currently own a hercules top gear 6spd. I am not much into long distance cycling, but use it mainly for exercise.

    Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

    I guess just proper lubrication just once a month should do.

      Hi, I bought a Hercules roadeo, secondhand from a friend who didn't find it very comfortable, and set it myself after numerous trial and error with help from you tube. At first I took it to a Hercules showroom but they ruined the thing with a managed precision, hence I can not rely on them.
      Quite often I ride my bike for more than 50 kilometers a day, as this thing runs really smooth. But the crank has developed a screech-screech noise, which reduces if I pedal with straight legs and increases a bit when mine are not so straight. The noise is from the crank/ bottom bracket area. Is there a known remedy? something I can do at my place? or is it better left with more experienced mechanics? ( I gotta find one)

        1. Lubricate Chains
        2. Check Brake Shoes and Calibrate it
        3. Calibrate the High and Low values of the gear changer.
        4 Check the AIR.
        5.Lubricate gear system
        6.Lubricate gear shifter.
        7.Lubricate Pedals.

        Basically keep it away form water and Lubricate!!!!!
