10 More Bike Hacks for MTB, BMX, and Road

Last time we took a look at 10 bike hacks for mountain bikers and beyond, but were not finished. Today, well be doing ten more hacks that mountain bikers, BMXer, and even road cyclists can enjoy. Lets get started. Until you get good at it, working on a bike chain can be frustrating. Your derailleur can snap back and flick the chain into oblivion. For people like me with poor dexterity, a paper clip or hair pin can serve as a third set of hands. Hook this to your chain before you start working on it, and itll behave a little more predictably. By the way, to set a master link back in place, just position it above the chainstay and crank forwards abruptly. Working on your bike can get messy, and we all know that dish soap doesnt quite do the trick. There will always be spots that you just cant get clean. Use an abrasive like seal salt or even sand to scrub the dirt off of your hands.
