  1. Got a new D lock for my bicycle and it has a sticker on it saying it is Sold Secure Diamond rated, and I’m wondering whether I should peel that off - while it might be a deterrent “that will be hard to break, maybe not” it could equally attract attention “explicitly good lock, must be worth nicking!” My instinct is to get rid of the sticker…

    Do any biketooters out there have a view/ advice/ experience?

  6. 🚴 Just bought a new bike? Don’t ride yet! Check brakes, tire pressure, seat & handlebar height, chain+gears, and tighten all bolts. A 5-min check = safe + smooth rides. ✨💨

  8. 5 things that I learnt on my #bikepacking trip to #zanskar (5000m+ Indian Himalayas)

    1️⃣ Tire Pressure Matters More Than You Think
    For loaded bikepacking, lower your tire pressure slightly for better traction and comfort (esp on descent). Tubeless setup? Even better. .

    2️⃣ Pedal Efficiency is Key
    Use grippy flat pedals with proper shoes. Efficiency over long climbs and stability on descents make all the difference. Clipless "meh". .

  9. Found the best way to lube my chain using paraffin. Previously I was using a regular pot in which I heated the wax, but that was terrible to clean afterwards.

    I now use a silicon shape heated in the oven and the cleanup is a breeze. The wax can even be recovered and reused.

    On _why_ I use paraffin, well, it's because the chain and drive-train are much cleaner all year round. The downside is that it needs to be done a bit more often.
