good afternoon!
since the lockdown I have been enjoying quite a few rides, and I'd like to get a bit more serious- but I am clueless.
I have a Kellys Neos hybrid, I got it in 2010 but it was barely used, still I think its still a decent enough bike so no need to upgrade. But I do have some issues I was wondering if anyone could help with?
1. Tyres- they're 10 years old, have never been changed and I need some new ones. Any recommendations for a hybrid? I'm cycling about 20km per ride up & down hills on tracks and bumpy country roads- not off road but certainly not smooth surfaces. I don't really want to sacrifice speed too much, just a good all round tyre.
2. Is it easy enough to align the gears? When I change I'm getting a 'clanking' sound as if I'm stuck between gears- can I tackle this myself?
