Context: My 90s MTB still has its original Shimano chainring (crankarms say Alivo). The cassette was replaced several months ago, as was the chain and bottom bracket. No wear on the chain right now....

Context: my ebike has 19mm nuts on the rear axle (and 15mm on the front). I have an old Proto wrench that’s a 15mm/18mm, so i’m wondering if i could replace the rear nuts with 18mm nuts instead, so i can carry around one less wrench....

Hi all, I’m new to this community and this is me attempting to participate....

Hello everyone....

(long time lurker, first time c/bikewrench poster)...

I have a steel frame and I’m looking on getting aluminum parts (eg: seatpost, headset etc)...

I watched a video from Zero Friction Cycling where he tested a bunch of chain checker tools....

Im building a single speed mini velo with 20inch bmx wheels....

I want to build my own wheels....

So, I’ve got fresh Schwalbe Big Apple tires coming in for my Tern folding bike....

I’m looking for a physical book on bike repair, so that I don’t have to be Wi-Fi connected to fix my bike. I’m partial to diagrams over pictures or walls of text. I’d prefer it be versatile to all sorts of bike types. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, i have this wear indicator and i am unclear what it exactly measures. I have a 11 speed chain that i am trying to measure and it almost fits. On other wear indicator tools i see they put 0.5 % / 0.75 % / 1 % annotations on it, that would have been helpful here too....

I had my first dropped chain… as in, the chain fell completely off my bike. The side of one pin on the KMC missing link appeared to have popped right off. Nothing else was missing or damaged....

I got a new GRX, that has a dropper remote in left lever, but it takes the cable with the end. My dropper takes this end too. So I found a solution. Part of X01 chain fits on the cable very well and can be soldered on. There was not a lot of space to do this, but on 2nd try I managed to make it stay on and could not pull it off...

Has anyone applied the pressure recommendations given on Silca’s site: silca.cc/pages/sppc-form...

Hi all...

Last month, for the first time in thousands of KM, I got a flat tire....

No relation to the creator, I just found this vid useful and haven’t seen this guy before.

Just saw this crack in my tire, don’t like the look of it. Is it still fine?

At the beginning of the season I bought a beautiful teal 1988 Trek 1000 and have been riding the hell out of it. Unfortunately all that riding has come at a price, Ive ruined two rear wheels(rims) over the span of a few months....

Another designed and 3D printed tool added to my toolbox. This time it is for cleaning individual pistons on Saint / Zee calipers.
