It's important to take care of all the bicycle pieces and parts that keep you moving. Canadian Tire has a range of cycling essentials, including replacement Supercycle bike parts and other components.
How often should you change bike brake cables?
You should replace your brake cables for every 5000km of riding or if there is visible damage to the cable or if the cable becomes noticeable stiff or loose when operating the brake. You can follow the same guidelines for other bike parts, including bike chains.
How do I check my brake pads on a bike?
You can inspect the bike's brake calipers to check the thickness of the pads. If the bike brake pads have worn down significantly, for example, to 1mm or less, then they should be changed. Depending on your bike's brake style, you may need to remove the brake pad from the caliper arm.
