Fitted new tyres to my bicycle today - which is always a pain in the arse! Took the opportunity to go for slightly fatter ones this time to see if it makes my commute a little more comfy. Some of the roads near here make the ones in Fallout look well maintained. #Bicycle #BicycleMaintenance

New cable and housing is step one of the winter tear down.
Making a decision to do your own bicycle maintenance can be an exciting prospect. The majority of the work is not difficult, however, you might end up needing some specialist tools.
So where do you start? What would be the core tools to get you up and running?
I wrote an article about this a while back, it's aimed at the enthusiast who wants to pick up the tools for the first time.
