    YouTube Bike Maintenance Channels

    RJ The Bike Guy is one of my favourite. I haven't seen anyone better than him when it comes to fixing older bikes and carrying out unconventional repairs.

    Paint job!

    I actually tried repainting my second bike one time but did a terrible job at it before I had to give it to professional in order to handle the job perfectly. It came out very well the way I expected.

    Is DIY Bike Repair Hurting Local Bike Shops?

    Well, it actually depends on the kind of issues that needs to be fixed. If it's something very serious, I would always take the bike to local bike shop in order to support them but if it's something minor, I'll definitely fix it myself.

    Are Carbon Bikes Too Fragile to Be Worth the Trouble?

    Although, it's not all the damages that a carbon bike have that can't be fixed. Some gouges or minor cracks can be repaired using epoxy, additional carbon layers and curing processes. It's only serious damages that are very difficult to fix. But I still wouldn't buy one because it doesn't make...

    Bike repair gone wrong!

    I had an experience with a car not a bike. It was with my dad's car years ago. I tried changing the brake pads on my own but ended messing everything up. It was my last time of trying to fix when I don't know exactly how to do it well.

    Washing your bike

    It doesn't make any sense to keep washing them when it's not really dirty. I don't blame those who doesn't ride when it's all rainy and muddy because that's creating extra work of washing regularly. I would never keep my bike out for any reason whatsoever.

    Do Fat Bikes Really Belong Outside of Snow and Sand?

    Unfortunately, they can't run forever no matter how much we wish it. The most important thing is that you've taken it on your ride as far as possible. So, getting a new one when it's time is inevitable.

    This is just the tyre spinning mud on her back when riding and it's that way, picturing how nasty that's going look if she fell in mud is giving me goosebumps 😂 😂 Btw, her physique looks very good.

    How much water do you typically drink a day?

    We all do a lot of crazy thing when younger because of not knowing better or just being careless. Even though it's said that age is just an number but we really mature with age in everything.

    Where did you ride your bike today?

    This sounds so emotional. It's going have your spirit being free and more like home where you used to enjoy yourself. I've thought about cremation but I haven't decided on it yet.

    Imagine that in the mud, you're going to look like shît 😂. I tried as much as possible to master using my legs to try and prevent a full fall whenever I'm going to be unfortunate 😩

    Should We Ban Phones at the Dinner Table?

    This is exactly as it should be. There's no need to try and play the hero because life doesn't have a spare to the best of my knowledge. You worked smart and that's all that matters.

    Is High-End Gear Just a Status Symbol?

    Exactly! This is what most importers do in my country. They would go to China and ask for a lower QA standard manufacturers to use and bring in low quality product because the people want cheaper things. China can give you anything you want in terms of quality if you're willing to pay for it.

    Do Fat Bikes Really Belong Outside of Snow and Sand?

    One thing I know about bikes is that when you take good care of them, they never let you down or disappoint quickly which is why your 12 year old bike still kicks up nicely.

    Where did you ride your bike today?

    I'm so glad you're better now from the infection because it can be a nasty one. Your dad didn't have a good financial advisor or he probably didn't listen when told to get life insurance. You've done your part and I'm very sure he will appreciate it. Cremation isn't that bad either.

    Riding across your state?

    It's our infrastructure they are majorly after and our government doesn't care so much about them. They take as much money as they can and have it saved in offshore accounts all over the world. This have been the nature of our politicians for years. General Sani Abacha who ruled Nigeria under...

    How much water do you typically drink a day?

    You need to be careful with doing that. I'm not adventurous with trying such because I tend to overdo things and it doesn't end well most of the time. I use supplements when it's recommended based on dosage.
