Tech Tip Tuesday

With ski and snowboard season around the corner, its time to start checking if your gear is ready for the snow. For this tech tip I will show you how to check if your edges are sharp.

Slime is a green tube sealant sealant that can be put in the tube of your bike to prevent flats, however it can be very messy and may not be worth the hassle and only works if the  puncture is really small. If you're a family with lots of bikes and only cruse on concrete or light gravel trails and tired of getting flats than maybe you should give slime a try. If you downhill or road bike, slime is typically not recommended. 

Usually at the end of the season the snow is slushy and water sits on the edges of your ski or snowboard more than usual, especially if you transport your gear on a ski rack. It's a good idea to clean the rust off your edges at the end of the season before you store it away for the summer.
