Slow & Steady Ride 128 Iron Butt - Bike Cares & Spares

a) Drive Train - Check for Bottom Bracket wear & tear if not loose.
Crankset fully tighten including both pedal.
Check for chain wear if not change. Will stressing alot on chain.
Rider using D-link or missing link to check for loose & wear.
Jockey wheels at Rear Derailuer tighten if wore change inorder
the chain not to be derail from cassette & chainring.
Lubricate Chain, WD 40 not recommended as it will bit off the Lube
coating around the chain & bearing.

b) Control - Check brake & pads or adjustment.
Check Shifters or adjustment.

c) Parts & Tools - Spare inner tube for your wheel size.
Mini Pump with Presta or Shrader valve.
Tire lever & Allen key tools kit with chain breaker will be good.
Size 15 Spanner for rider using Internal Speed Hub at rear.

Any Additional input will be great.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info

I want to add on:

d) tires - check for wear, tear or scratches/holes through to the tube inside. replace if so.
- check tube pressure at least the night before ride.
- check wheels are aligned and true by lifting your bike and turning it round. Visit a LBS to check if seems wobbly or not aligned.

Thanks guy, good checklist. My brake shoe was quite botak (almost reaching the grooves), I brought it down to MBS last fri (Tuas ride). They told me still can tahan a few months. Opinions?
