1. Ultimate Degrease<\/b><\/h4>\n

One of the things that afflict every cyclist is stains of grease on clothing. And you\u2019ll likely be more affected if you are wearing a white jersey. It may interest you note that the best dish soap could help with even bikes grease. Heck, the Fairy soap produced in Australia and the United Kingdom is a soap of choice that can rescue you after oil spills.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have accidentally wiped your hands on that your white jersey after taking care of your dropped bike chain, you can apply some Dawn or Fairy to pre-treat just like you would do with a regular stain remover. After you are done with that, you can throw in the wash. Voila, your jersey will come out as good as new. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Print Ain\u2019t Dead (Yet)<\/b><\/h4>\n

Fixing your wet legs into your damp shoes after a ride is a pretty gross feeling. And yeah, some shoes just appears to take forever to dry. In order to accelerate the process, remove the footbeds, and stuck the inner part of your shoes with crumpled up newspapers. The papers will absorb quite a bit of water. So, endeavor to change it after a while. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Dollar Dollar Bill Y\u2019all<\/b><\/h4>\n

A flat tire can ruin an awesome ride in a twinkle of an eye. What’s so embarrassing is to stop to discover that there is a presence of giant gash in casing or sidewall of your tire. As many don\u2019t carry a second tire while cycling, the situation often ends in an SOS call to a significant friend or other people closeby. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, dollar bill significantly makes temporary tire patches specifically \u201cplasticky\u201d like that of the Australian notes. If you run out of funds at the time of puncture, energy bar wrappers are also great. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Save that Valve Cap<\/b><\/h4>\n

When replacing a tire, many tend to forget the plastic valve cap present on the fresh inner tube, but you should remember to always hang on to it as it might be a lifesaver whenever you are in a tight situations<\/span><\/p>\n

If you cut off the top, you can still make use of the cap as a Makeshift Presta to Schrader valve converter. This isn\u2019t perfect, but you can make use of this little hack for the air compressor at your local gas station. Specifically, you can make use of them in a situation where you had flat out on while on the road, and you couldn\u2019t get your tires topped off with your CO2 canisters or mini pumps. Interestingly, it is also extremely cheaper than a proper Presta or Schrader converter. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Powdered Laundry Detergent for Your Hands<\/b><\/h4>\n

After a thorough clean-up of your bike, there is no doubt that your hands will probably be darker than the lungs of a coal miner. The worse situation is leaving your greasy black fingerprints on everything you touch. No matter the extent you scrub, you\u2019ll still find the presence of remnants of drivetrain gunk under your nails and on your hands. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is usually a solution to get clean again. And that\u2019s a powdered laundry detergent. Grab a pinch of powdered laundry detergent before you head to the sink after cleaning your drivetrain. And guess what? Your hands will come out sparkling clean.<\/span><\/p>\n
