Fixing and maintaining your own bike is really rewarding. Being able to look after your own equipment and keep it running smoothly will make your riding much more enjoyable, and even save you money! However, if you've never worked on a bike before, it may seem quite daunting - but it needn't be! In this new mini series, Alex gives you a crash course in bike maintenance, so you can work on your bike with confidence! If you're keen to get into home mechanics, this is a great place to start!
