21 days till the off (eeek...) and I'm turning my thoughts to maintenance on tour. The lovely Liesl and Richard's bike Ironside are booked into the LBS for a pre-tour service - I'm getting a new chain and back mech as I think it's needed - so they'll be in good shape but I'm just wondering how I need to look after the bikes en route.
Normally Liesl's lucky if she gets a dash of oil round the chain but with 1200 miles to go, what do we need to do to keep them running smoothly. Is dirt dodgy - do we need to clean the bikes off regularly? What else should we oil? Help....
