I am still a newbie to cycling, I think. I have taken part in just one sportive, i don't commute everyday on my bike, but I use it a bit.

I have had a bike for about a year and a half now. I have managed to put about 5000 km on it in this time. Not too bad, considering holidays.

Anyway, I see now the point of the maintenance I did not do, and want to get advice on bike mechanics.

I hope I can contribute in return, with all the websites on bikes and cycling I have read something must have stuck.

Cheers,

Miguel
