We'll look your bike over, tell you what needs to be done, and then work within your budget. Then it's up to the owner to maintain the bike throughout the season. For safety reasons, Nuber checks brakes first. He makes sure the brake pads are in good condition, centered over the wheel, and are not rubbing on the tires. The pad will wear through the tire and cause a blowout.
Trainer says tire blowouts can also occur if tires have slits or cracked casings.
Tire pressure is also important, adds Trainer. Improperly inflated tires can lead to flats or dented rims. On a road bike, check the tire pressure every time you ride, he advises. On a mountain bike, check it once a week. Just like a car tire, the recommended tire pressure is written on the side-wall.
