I’m
going to give you a top tip on how to maintain your spin bikes.
This
is the thing you might need to do after using your spin bike for 6 or
12 months. The problem that will occur is that the resistance will
change making it difficult for you to work on a pedal with only a
small amount of adjustment on the wheel.
As
a result, it becomes quite difficult to adjust the resolution to the
resistance you want. The reason for this is very simple. The brake,
which is this device here, can just get dirty over time, it picks up
dust from the house and the more dust and dirt that you get under
there, the more grippy it becomes.
However,
there’s an easy way to fix this problem, without changing the brake
itself, so I show you how to do that.
All
you need is just some silicon lubricant, this is the kind of thing
that you might use on a treadmill running belt for example, and a
couple of tissues just to clean up the remains.
All
you have to do is to pour a little bit onto your fingers and just
apply it to the outside of the wheel and turn it around putting some
silicon oil onto the outside and we just go all the way around like
that.
You
might also put a little bit underneath the brake itself onto the pad
and then use your cloths just to wipe out the remains of the oil and
then get back on the bike.
Give
it a quick pedal and the brake will then automatically pick up that
lubricant. It will soak into the brake pad and it would just provide
a little bit of slip between the brake and the wheel. As a result,
you will get back that nice control you the bike was new.
So
it means you’ve got much more control, if you give the adjuster a
quarter of turn here you can feel the difference, but the difference
doesn’t appear suddenly.
The
bike becomes much more controllable and pleasant to use. There’s a
top tip, hope that helps.
