Featured Article:
I met with one of my new triathlon clients recently and noticed 7 things during a quick 5 minutes review of his triathlon bike (this was after I begged him to bring his bike to one of his swim training sessions). Hopefully you can learn from these 7 issues:
1. Basic triathlon bike maintenance. The first thing I noticed was his chain - it was rusty. Six drops of chain lube could have prevented this rust. Beginner triathletes often know little about basic bicycle maintenance. The chain should be cleaned when dirty and lubricated. Your local bike shop can give you some great suggestions about cleaning solutions and lubricants you can use on your triathlon bike.
2. Brakes rubbing. The second thing I noticed was his front brake was rubbing the wheel. This was mainly due to the fact that the bike was transported loose in the back of a pickup truck. The first rule is to secure your bike if you are carrying it in your vehicle (a rubber mat if it must lay flat in the car - a bike rack is better). Second, always check your brakes before you start your ride (especially if you have to take your wheels off to transport the bike). You can test this by holding the wheel off the ground and spinning it hard. If there is a problem the wheel will not spin freely - you will feel vibration in the frame or hear a rub, and the wheel will slow down. If the brake is rubbing check to see if the wheel was put on correctly (you can also adjust the brake assembly slightly by hand). If the brakes are still rubbing you want to have a bike shop check to see if your wheel rim is warped and needs to be trued.
3. Saddle bag supplies. His saddle bag supplies were the following: cell phone and keys. Not good. Make sure you have at least one spare tube of the correct size (you can find the size on the sidewall of your bike tires), tire levers, some supply of air (either a CO2 cartridge or a bike pump), and a few bucks. Other good things to consider are a tube repair kit and a hex wrench set. The cell phone and identification are also a good idea.
4. Eye protection. He didn't have a pair of sunglasses or other eye protection. It is imperative to have your eyes protected, not just from the sun but from a 50 mph rock or insect. Not only can these cause discomfort, but they can lead to a wreck with another cyclist or even worse a vehicle. This is just as important as a bike helmet (you've got your bike helmet right?)
5. Tire pressure. His tire pressure was about half the recommended pressure. Check the sidewall of your tire - it will give you the recommended pressure range. Get a nice floor pump with a pressure gauge so you can fill your tires properly before you ride. Properly filled tires create less rolling resistance - and let you ride faster with less effort. But be careful not to overfill your tire - that is another good way to get a flat.
6. Learn how to fix a flat. Please don't be one of those triathletes whose flat repair kit is a cell phone (and you will get a flat). Watch the video above where I show you the proper way to fix a bike flat.
7. Look, listen and feel. We've gone over what to look for, but while riding the bike make sure to listen for creaks, pops and rubbing noises. If you hear or feel anything like this pay close attention. These are sure-fire clues that there is something wrong. Most of the time these are things that can be easily fixed by your local bike shop. But left unattended they could slow you down and eventually may cause something to break.
I worked at a bike shop in St. Louis when I was in college. It is important to find a repair shop you can trust. Ask people in your local bicycle club for recommendations. Don't assume that the bike is ready to go when you get it home. Double-check the whole bike to make sure everything works and is tightened up. Once you find a good bike shop, take your bike in regularly for a tune-up and overall check. You will get a ton of miles and enjoyment (okay, maybe enjoyment is too strong...) out of a well-maintained triathlon bike.

Which Bike Tires Should I Buy?
When replacing your Bike Tires, you have to choose them carefully. They have to match your bicycle. If you plan to replace them, the first thing you have to do is to determine the kind of bike you have. Experts categorize bicycles into three groups - road bike, mountain bike, and 29ers.
Each of these bikes has a certain size wheel and requires a specific type and size of tires and bicycle tube. Measure your wheel size so that you can ask your bicycle shop about those size tires.
Generally, road bikes in our time use 700C. However, some bikers prefer to use 650C for the front wheels for two reasons. Bikers either want to speed up acceleration or they are small and they need to lower the stand-over clearance
Even road bikers differ in the way they determine their needs for bike tires. Most of the racers like their tires better with 18-23 millimeters in width, while tour bikers prefer to use tires with 25-28 millimeters to have comfort and stability.
If you are not sure of the size, you can check it on the bike rim. You can also bring it to the bike shop. Their sales representative will have the right tools to determine its size. It would also be convenient to ask them about the bicycle tubes.
Mountain bikes use 26” diameter for its bike wheels. Mountain bikes come in two types as well. If you are using downhill bikes, you should use bike tires that have the width size between 2.5” and 3.0”. However, if your bike is all-mountain bike, the ideal widths for the tires are between 1.8” and 2.4”.
The latest breakthrough in the biker’s world are the 29er bikes. It uses a wider variation of 700C. Its shape also resembles the knob more than any other 700C bicycle tires do.
After the size, consider the surface that your bike rides on. For dirt riders, they need a mountain bike wheels because of the tractions in different conditions. If the road surface you are riding is uniform, use a tire that is designed for that surface.
If the road is asphalt, the ideal bike tires are the slicks tires for maximum velocity and smooth riding. In addition, they provide good grip in most types of road condition. If the surfaces vary such as asphalt, concrete, gravel, or single track, the perfect match is the cyclo-cross tires or semi-slicks.
Treading of the bicycle is the next consideration, particularly the knobby tires for mountain bikes. Minor difference in treading can have great impact on your ride. Experts recommend sharp tread edges for balance. Semi-slicks have smooth center designed to have faster acceleration for least rolling resistance.
Inverted treads on tires have the least rolling resistance, yet they have more grip. This type of bike tires is ideal for asphalted roads with potholes. Slicks are the racers and commuters best friend. They are identical to road tires, but have wider diameter.
For knobby tires, each size is designed for a specific purpose. Smaller knobs are best for single tracks. Taller knobs have more grip when riding on technical terrain. Widely-spaced knobs are best for loose conditions. Bike tires that are knobby on the base are excellent for hard pack roads.

Unusual valve on my bicycle tire- how do I inflate ?
I am totally annoyed. Just wanted to go for a bike ride and discovered my back tire is low. Got out the compressor and discovered that the valve is not what I am familiar with. It is very skinny as compared to a standard bike tube valve. Sort of needle-like. There seems to be another little locknut incorporated in it to maybe hold the air in better. I loosened the locknut and apparently let more air out.
I did find an attachment for my compressor that fit over the skinny valve okay, but I couldn't seem to get any air in the tube.
Please HELP!
I guess you just got the bike. It's a presta valve, very common on better bikes. If you don't have a pump for it (they are available everywhere good bikes are sold) you can buy a shrader valve adapter. It's a $1 item, again available even in K Mart or Wal Mart. Stay away from plastic ones they don't work as well as the brass ones.
To use, unscrew the little nut on the presta valve, screw on the adapter, fill the tire. Do the same for the other tire. Remember to lightly tighten down the lock nut again.
