Description

In this month’s BikeRadar Tech Q&A, we tackle another batch of your tech questions. We cover everything from keeping your drivetrain spotless without contaminating your disc rotors, to whether tubeless tyres are more likely to blow off the rim in a puncture.


We also discuss chain wear on mid-drive e-bikes and how to set up Shimano MTB cleats like a pro.


Elsewhere, we answer your questions on wheel upgrades for gravel, upgrading 7-speed gearing for easier climbing, and tricky shifting issues with wide-range cassettes.
