Expert tips for extending your bike's lifespan
Our specialists at Bikenergy know that a well-maintained bike not only rides better but also serves you for years. Here are four essential practices to keep every part of your bicycle in top condition.

1. Keep your drivetrain clean and lubricated
Dirt and moisture can quickly wear out your chain, cassette, and derailleurs. Regular cleaning with a soft brush and the right degreaser, followed by applying a suitable lubricant, prevents rust, improves gear shifting, and extends the life of these key components.

2. Maintain proper tyre pressure and check for wear
Underinflated or overinflated tyres affect handling and increase the risk of punctures. Check pressure at least once a week and inspect the tread for cracks or thinning. This simple habit improves safety, efficiency, and prolongs the lifespan of your wheels.

3. Inspect and adjust your brakes regularly
Brake pads and cables naturally wear out over time. Examine them for signs of thinning or fraying, and adjust tension when needed. Keeping your braking system responsive ensures safer rides and prevents damage to the wheels and frame caused by poor stopping power.
