Inspect the bike for damage
Check for any cracks, dents, or bends in the frame, handlebars, and wheels. Look for frayed cables, worn brake pads, and damaged tires.
Adjust the brakes and gears
Ensure the brakes are aligned and the pads are making proper contact with the wheel rims. Adjust the gear shifters and derailleurs to ensure smooth shifting.
Fix a flat tire
Remove the wheel, locate the puncture, and patch or replace the inner tube. Inspect the tire for any embedded objects that may cause another puncture.
Tighten loose bolts and screws
Check all bolts and screws on the bike and tighten any that are loose. Pay special attention to the stem, handlebars, and seat post.
Lubricate the chain and other moving parts
Apply lubricant to the chain, derailleurs, and pivot points on the brakes and shifters. Wipe off any excess lubricant to prevent attracting dirt and grime.
