Terms of Use

Information, not instruction

Our guides explain general practice in good faith. Cycling involves risk, and equipment specifications change. You are responsible for your own safety, for verifying torque values and compatibility against your manufacturer’s documentation, and for deciding whether a repair or adjustment is within your ability. Where in doubt, use a qualified mechanic.
