When to change major bike parts

As a responsible cyclist, you need to pay close attention to the condition of your ride. If you notice deformities or signs of wear and tear, you should immediately consider shopping for replacements. If you fail to resolve the issue in a timely manner then you might suffer from injuries or fail to perform excellently.

To help you avoid dealing with problems, we gathered some of the key bicycle components and when you should replace them.

Brakes 

The brake is among the most essential parts of a bike. Bike brakes allow you to control your ride so you can minimise collisions and other accidents. The lifespan of your ride’s brake depends on things such as the distance you cover, how frequent you use the brakes, the terrain you ride in, and the weight and size of your ride. Generally, you should check the brake pads at least once a month or after reaching 500 miles.

Drivetrains

Drivetrain parts include the chain, chainrings, and derailleurs. We highly recommend checking your drivetrain after reaching around 2000 to 3000 miles. You can use chain checkers to determine if you should replace the chain. For the chainrings, you need to inspect the teeth one by one. Find out if there are any signs of deformities. As for the derailleurs check if the springs still function correctly when you shift gears.

Handlebar tapes

Handlebar tapes generally last for a few months. More expensive ones tend to last for around a year. If you notice rips or if the tape starts smelling bad, you should definitely consider replacing it right away.

Tyres

Racing tyres typically last for up to 1000 miles. Large commuter tyres, on one hand, last up to 5000 miles. There are, however, some instances when you need to replace a tyre earlier than usual. To know if your tyres finally had enough, inspect the thread and the tire belt. If these two parts look too worn out, you should definitely order tyre replacements. You should also promptly replace tyres with bald spots to avoid losing control of your ride. Without good quality tyres, you might end up in collisions and injuries.
