How to Check If Your Bearings Are Worn

Hello everyone! I purchased a new Wahoo Kickr Snap bike trainer today, and was very sad to realize that it doesn't fit my bike. I have a slightly older (1990's?) Miele road bike (Shimano 105 set). It seems my rear hub is 128mm. Wahoo only supports 130mm or 135mm. Because it's shorter it causes the skewer thread to stick out about 1/4 of an inch at the end – making it not fit snuggly in the tra...

My wife LOVES riding her bike a half mile to the lake every day. Unfortunately a few days ago she got a stick in the chain and it made the whole assembly come off. I have no idea how to fix it and I'm a fairly handy guy. Any ideas or is this unit too old to find parts pieces for? https://imgur.com/a/4BpcbOh Sorry some of the pics are blurry...

My sons bike works fine if the front fork / handlebar is reversed but will hardly move at all when is it is turned in the right direction I know nothing about bikes. Is something simple? Thanks....

Can anyone recommend a good repair stand, sturdy, for $100 or less?  Love Park, but out of my budget for now....

I use Shimano SPD pedals with Shimano cleats to match. My problem is with how tight they are, even after a year of use. I have them adjusted to the lightest pressure, but it is almost impossible to get any 'float' ( I have the cleats that are supposed to float). Also, unclipping is a violent act, fortunately I have not had to do an emergency unclip. I have even tried to shave a little off the ...

I'm 71 yrs old.  I stand 5'6''. For 11 yrs I a rode a hybrid with a 17.5 in frame, before that a mountain bike. I am looking at a Fugi Aboslute , which they call a flat bar road bike. When I test road the 17'' frame I felt as if my knees were going to hit my chest. The 19 '' frame felt much better. I am confused as to which bike will be a better fit for me. Any thoughts????...

I have terrible luck with the the rubber cushions on cleats. Because I kept wearing out the rubber inserts on Red cleats, I changed to Shimano PD pedals. Now I have problems with the little yellow pads falling off those cleats!! My question : Is it because I buy the $5.00 deals on EBay? If I go for the $18/20.00 sets will I solve my problem? I don't mind paying the higher price i...

Hey guys, I need help figuring out what this strange noise is when I turn my rear wheel. I recently got my bike serviced, went riding on an extreme track, then.. crashed. I started pedaling and the rear wheel kept making a weird noise. It sounds like it's rubbing against something? I may have bent the disc rotor? Here is a video: https://vid.me/tpy10...

This was on the rear wheel of a recently purchased GT Aggressor.  I had to remove the quick release axle to take it off.  Can't figure out what it is. [img][/img][img]...

I have brought an old Giant GSR200 (early 90's I would guess), as a hack to use to commute to the station in the morning, and leaved locked all day. I am happy with the condition of the bike, and for a tenner it was a bargin! The only issue I have is that being so old it has Shimano SIS thumb shifters (the ones on the top of the bars). I would really like to change these as I find them awkward t...

Hi. I am new to this forum and not a biker. I am 60 years old. Somebody gave me a mountain bike although it looks big for a mountain bike it has 9*3 gears. The chain snapped and in desperation I went to a you tube forum to see how to repair it. I bought a chain link extractor. The extractor was difficult to turn and the chain didn't sit comfortably in the device. The result is a knacked tool th...

Hi. So me and hubby want to start bike riding to start getting fit. We cant afford new so have been searching through second hand sites. We wanted to spend as littlw as possible at first in case we dont like it, then if we get into it we can upgrade! Anyway, Im yet to get mine but we got one for hubby today. By the sounds of it the seller said its been put together from different parts. So I have...

I am in the process of getting one of my bikes restored. I have everything I need to get it set back up right (brakes, gears, reflectors,etc.) but I need to know how to apply make and model stickers and decals. If anyone has done this before, can they PLEASE guide me on doing it, as I've never done this before. Thanks!...

Hi. Ive seen this bike. The seller says its a boys. The frame is 16" which is what I need. However im a girl. So as its a males bike is it not suitable? Thanks...

About a year ago I bought a pair of Venzo road shoes on e-bay- most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.  The rubber inserts on the underside  have worn too low to keep the cleats from rubbing and squeaking,  The inserts are removable and have a screw securing them.  Does anyone know where I can buy replacement rubber inserts of this type?...
