New Years’ Bike Resolutions

Starling Cycles mountain bike

It’s that time of year again where we are all encouraged to reflect on the year gone by as we move forward into another one. The pandemic has changed the way we live but cycling is one of the lucky few activities that has remained constantly accessible throughout. At BETD, we have been proud to empower this by continuing to stock our superior strength derailleur hangers, mtb bearings and more on our online shop.

 

Regular Bike Maintenance

We are sure you are an experienced, savvy, and talented cyclist putting in peak performances with ease – without a properly maintained road, gravel, or mountain bike however, you cannot ride as well as you would otherwise be able to. Check your chain rings aren’t in need of being exchanged, replace derailleur hangers and fork seals at the first sign of wear and tear, and order any replacements parts ahead of your next scheduled bike ride.

 

Getting An Expert Opinion

Most cyclists are well-acquainted with the make and model of their bike and are savvy enough to know which component would function well as a replacement, however even the expert cyclist with as much experience as BETD might need a second opinion sometimes. In the interest of maintaining your bike then, you might want to resolve to utilise our photo help service when needed.

 

Reviewing Your Diet

All our regular customers are well-aware of the need to stay hydrated and likely consume protein shakes as part of their fitness regime. Nutrition is a complex area that contributes heavily towards what you can achieve with your bike however, and it might be worth sticking more stringently to performance-enhancing dietary habits in addition to checking you haven’t been believing food myths in prior years.
