How to Install Tektro Auriga Comp Disc Brakes

I took a little video of it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JWGr3RBVr8WWDRjbfoAo_13p7opnN4EC/view?usp=drivesdk It's a huffy bike for a five year old. Basically the wheels keep locking up randomly when pedaling. Checked to see if there was anything rubbing against the chain but I don't see any blockages. Do I need to take apart the whole pedal? Thanks for any advice!...

On both my bike handles, the gear shifts are stuck and I can’t move them. They’re currently stuck on gear 5 now (the highest). How do I fix it without needing a new gear shift?...

Hello biking community! I stumbled upon BikeRide and really happy to have found it! Thanking anyone in advance for any guidance on my situation. My rear tire was stolen on my Specialized Allez (at least 7 years old) road bike a few months ago and haven't had a chance to replace it. It has been sitting in a bike storage room on the bare fork and derailer :/ I'm concerned this may have added s...

  20200404_151727.jpg (Size: 97.27 KB / Downloads: 26) Hi all, for the past few years I've been riding a Trek 6500 ZX from around 1999-2001. I did some basic tune-ups on as well as replacing the wheels with the help of my local bike shop after getting it for free from some folks who didn't use it much but took good care of it. It still rides very well with no issues aside from the o...

Hello bike world! I'm a novice biker trying to learn more about bike mechanics, in general. My girlfriend's used bike has some irregularities that are a cause of conern. The back wheel/axle sits VERY far forward in the designated notch on the frame. To the point where we're concerned a good bump may knock the wheel off the frame while riding.   IMG_1916.jpg (Size: 22.97 KB / Downloa...

I just wanted to show how I rescue rusty bits and pieces using Evapo-rust. does a decent job for just soaking, letting it work, then rinse and lightly scrub and then off to the bench polisher. this is how to start off and I will post pics of the finished bolts when complete. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. ...

Hey everyone! This is my first time repairing this bike. I’ve done basic maintenance (new tape, tubes, tires)... but then the wheels were stolen! I really enjoy the aesthetic of this bike and I’m hoping the repairs will be possible. I’ll definitely need some direction on what parts to look for and how to approach this. Here is what I’m working with. Nishiki Performance Equipe Sport See...

Hello all, I have a old Antelope 820 in nice condition that has a broken (right) shiftier (Shimano 200GS SIS 7 S). It appears that these old parts are not readily (or cheaply) available. Has anyone swapped out these shifters with a more current model without changing the derailer(s)? I don't want to spend alot as the bike isn't worth much I just have a hard time trashing it since is a nice bike ...

Hi all, New member here . I just bough a new bike and yesterday was my first ride. I noticed a sound when in my 3th or 4th gear (3rd and 4th largest sprocket) . Today I tried to determine the noise and it seems to be because the chain does not seem to fit perfectly on sprockets (if inspected, you can see small gap between chain and sprocket, causing a "click" when pedalling). I checked the usual...

A recent purchase of an Elektra 7-speed cruiser came with a Megarange freewheel. I didn't like it, so today I swapped it for a regular 14-28T freewheel. The second lowest geared cog has 24 teeth. The lowest had 34 teeth. That's a huge jump from one cog to another. I found that in a headwind, when I dropped to the lowest, I had to pedal like crazy just to get up to walking pace. And because of thi...

Took an old 28" front rim from a friend who would otherwise throw it in the garbage. THe rim came with 700 Hutchinson tire and I had to change its inner tube, before putting it on my old road bike. Then came the evening nightmare .. tire was SUPER tight and did not want to come off. I have changed many tubes, but this was so far the toughest tube swap mission. Fingertips hurt and Hutchinson did no...

Hi I'm building up a mountain bike ready for when the summer gets here in the UK, I got given a pair of Marzochhi Bomber 55 front forks that came with a Tektro Auriga Comp hydraulic brake. Wanting to keep the brakes matching I bought a secondhand new old stock rear Tektro Auriga Comp brake, when it arrived it looked in good condition, I had to order a bracket for the frame to allow the caliper t...

I purchased this bike for $75 and it wasn't riding well so I decided to take it all apart and make it new again. I am having the most difficult time removing the fork and pedal cranks (I think that's what they are called). The top of the fork has a black circular piece that I am sure needs to be unscrewed but it won't budge. I have tried using a pipe strap but it just slips. Using a set of pl...

I own an old road bike from the 80’s I quite like. To this day, all the original parts are still on the bike, except the last mudguard that broke this year. The wear and tear is getting more noticeable lately, especially the wheels and the breaks. Shifting is not as smooth as it used to be, but it’s not a major concern. The wheels are probably the biggest problem since the wheel ring is not to...
