For being a fairly simple device, a bicycle can experience a wide range of problems. A bicycle is made up of a few parts that can each experience unique issues. There is the frame, wheels, handlebars, brakes, chain, and gears. Those are the basic components of a bicycle, though there are different elements to each one of those components. However, the different components are prone to different malfunctions that can require bike repair service. For example, your frame will likely not need to be repaired. If you do have a frame problem, you have a very serious problem. Your gear system is likely to need the most servicing aside from general wear and tear on the wheels.
Wheels
The wheels of your bike likely consist of metal spokes, a rim, a tube, and a rubber tire. The metal spokes connect the rim and tire to the hub that connects to the bicycle itself. If your spokes are bent, broken, or out of turn, you’ll have problems. If you have bent or broken spokes, you can tell just by looking at them. If they are out of turn, you will also need bike repair service in Temecula. You can tell they’re out of turn by rolling the tire, for it will wobble. Such a problem will need to be fixed.
At Alan’s Bike Shop, you can get your tires turned, so they roll straight. Such a repair will also help prevent bending of your wheels.
Gears
Your gear system consists of gear shifters, cables, actual gears, and derailleurs. The derailleurs are the actual devices that pick up the chain and move it to the proper gear when you shift gears. They are a fairly complex moving part and often the cause of most bike repair service needs.
