Hi! I have also been told that I need to change my chain. How much should this cost me?

On the tyre it says: (770 X 23C) Vittoria 23-622 Could you perhaps enlighten me as to what this means? haha Thanks everyone for all the information! it is really helpful. I am always afraid of being ripped off because I know nothing about cycling products so I appreciate all the advice. My tyres currently have slime in them. From what I understand, this seals punctures if they develope. I would like tyres that have this as well. Is it a particlar tyre that you buy or can you "add" the slime to any tyre?

Hi I am new to cycling. I have had my bike, a small Juliet Merida for 3 months. I bought it second hand. Over the weekend, my tyre valve started leaking and I took my bike in for repairs. The technician that helped me said that I will need to replace my tyres soon as they are getting "flat spots". I would just like to know what things I should consider when purchasing tyres and how much I should expect to pay. I cycle for fun and don't compete in anyway so I am just looking for tyres that are durable and reliable. Thanks so much! Excuse my inexperience... I cycled the 94.7 for the first time in 2012 and at that time I had only just learned how to ride with cleats just to give you a bit of background... I wil also be riding the Argus and need to get my tyres sorted before then of course.

Scary stuff. I am scared of downhills as it is. People pushing their bikes on the uphills were flying passed me on the downhills! very embarrassing. I could have had a much better finishing time if I just let the bike go on the downhills. Is there a forum for safety and road ettiquette for cyclists?

Hi all I am new to cycling and the forum. The Bestmed Satelite Classic was my first race. I did the 40 km. I am crazy about cycling but the accident on Saturday scared me a bit. I loved the route but I really feel as if more could be done in terms of safety. At one point, I had to stop to avoid being rammed off the road by a truck. Is this just part of the sport or could more be done safety wise? My thoughts go out to the cyclist who fell and his family. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
