Oh, and I will get a bike maintenace book. Its just that putting those Armadillo tyres was a ***** and I could not do myself. Even the guys at perfomance had to team up to do it!
Thanks again!
I just use
www.sheldonbrown.com and that has most of the information I need to adjust/fix anything on my bike.
My advice, invest in:
spare tube, patch kit, minipump (CO2 or regular pump), multitool, and tirelevers (and a saddle pouch to put them in).
When you flat, you're going to need the above tools to get yourself on your way.
Just another piece of advice, your tires will lose approximately 10-15 psi of pressure every week. It's very important to have properly inflated tires, so perhaps consider investing in a floor pump with a pressure gauge on it.
