Do you worry about keeping your bike like new from the day you get it? Do you have questions about how to best maintain your bike?
Then donât miss this series of tips that will help you to keep your bike like new without spending a whole lot of time. Take note!
The best tips for keeping your bike like new
Bicycle maintenance can be divided into two main parts: short-term and long-term.
The short-term maintenance, in turn, includes tasks that should be done before and after a ride. Therefore, we will distribute our tips throughout these main sections so you donât miss out on any of them and you can keep your bike just like it was when you bought it, even if that was many years ago.
Before going on a rideâŠ
Make sure the brakes are okay by checking the cable tension and the wear on the brake pads.
Do you have the right quick release levers or did you forget to change out the Bkool levers?
Take a look at the wheels to make sure they both turn true. The best way to do this is to stand in front of the bike and pick it up by the handlebar so that you can look at both tires head on and from above.
Do you have everything you need? Quickly check to make sure youâre not forgetting the essentials, like a small kit to fix flats or make quick repairs.
When you get back from the rideâŠ
Check the tires. Make sure there is nothing stuck to them. You should also take a look at the condition of the spokes and rims, especially if you rode over bumpy terrain.
The cleats and pedals are one of the areas where dirt is most likely to accumulate. If you clean them now, you will keep dirt from building up in hard-to-reach areas.
Clean your cherished bike thoroughly. Itâs very important that you leave it shiny and dry to keep certain parts from wearing or rusting.
Long-term maintenance (once a year for example)âŠ
Always try to keep the air in the tires at the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. This will avoid a lot of problems with the tires by causing them to wear less, and it will also make it easier and more comfortable to pedal.
Always keep the chain clean and properly greased.
Use a wear indicator from time to time to check the wear on the chain. Replacing the chain in time will prevent much more expensive problems and other headaches while riding. Itâs also very important to keep the gears clean.
Keep an eye on the brake pads and replace them when they look worn. That way, your brake discs wonât suffer from regular use.
If you use your bike every week, check it periodically yourself or take it to a bike shop you trust. Keep an ear out for noise! Any strange sound is usually a sign of a problem. The same thing goes for unusual vibrations.
Bkoolâs completely revamped Workout Creator is here
Workouts are professional training sessions based on power zones, perfect for improving your performance and fitness. As you know, we had previously launched a simple beta version of our workout creator to let you start creating your own workouts, a feature that all you Bkoolers had been asking for.
And now weâre presenting an advanced version of our workout creator. Of course, before you can create a workout and plan your training properly, you will have to do an FTP test, and as we told you in the last two posts on the new simulator version, thereâs now a 5-minute FTP test available.
After doing the FTP test, you will see your power zones in your Profile. If you already know your FTP, you can define them yourself.
This table shows the correlation between power zones and intensity:
ZONES
PERCENT
Z1
Between 0 and 55%
Z2
Between 56 and 75%
Z3
Between 76 and 90%
Z4
Between 91 and 105%
Z5
Between 106 and 120%
Z6
Between 121 and 150%
You have three options for creating a workout in the new Workout Creator from Bkool:
Create a fully personalised workout from scratch.
Create a workout by changing one that you or another user already created.
Create a workout from an imported .mrc file.
Create workout from scratch
This first option lets you create a fully personalised workout from scratch based on segments where you can specify the time and intensity with an easy-to-use graphical editor.
To start, click on âGO TO THE WORKOUT CREATORâ. First, you have to give the workout a name and then choose between the workout types available: âActive recoveryâ, âAerobic resistanceâ, âRhythmâ, âThresholdâ, âVO2 Maxâ and âAnaerobic capacityâ. The lowest intensity workouts are Recovery, which will have more segments in the low-power zones (like Z1), and the highest intensity workouts are Anaerobic, which will involve targets in the high-power zones (the highest is Z6). There are also several intermediate intensity workouts, as you saw in the previous table.
Letâs now look at the first new features. By default, youâll see 4 spaces for entering the segments. A slider will appear when you place the pointer on any empty segment, that simply by dragging up or down will let you select the zone for that segment. The limit zone for the segment is indicated by the dashed line.
When you use the button to drag the % intensity and the power, you will specify the parameters (% and W) for the position of the dashed line for the segment. If you exceed the limit for the previous zone in that segment, the editor will show the colour of the current zone youâre in. In our example, the first segment went into zone 2, in blue, and the second segment into zone 5, in red.
Once youâve added segments to the four spaces, you can keep adding segments if you want by clicking on the + button at the top right then the pencil, as the following image shows:
By default, each segment lasts 5 minutes. You can edit a segment and enter a specific duration by clicking on the three dots at the top right, as shown in the following image. You can also copy the segment by clicking on the left icon or delete it by clicking on the trash icon.
When you enter Edit mode, the first thing you can change is the duration, either by entering it directly or by adjusting the arrows. Next, comes the intensity. You can change the power zone and the intensity %. In our example, we changed to Z2, which has a default intensity of 66%, but you can increase it or decrease it, and it will automatically change to the zone associated with that intensity. For example, if you enter an intensity % of 137, it will automatically change to Z6.
And by using the button with the circular arrow, you can specify the CADENCE RANGE and set a target cadence with a maximum and minimum value. Lastly, you can also add a DESCRIPTION for the segment. Then click on UPDATE to save the changes.
Once you do this, two icons will appear over the segment, showing that youâve entered a target cadence range and a segment description. To change the segment duration, there is a button to the right that you can drag right to make the segment longer and drag left to make it shorter.
The Workout graph shows the FTP line, coloured segments, zones on the right vertical axis and intensity on the left axis.
The left axis can be changed, though by default it shows the % intensity for the zone, which helps you edit the intensity of the segments. To change the parameter, use the power icon to show power in watts or % intensity.
Finally, when youâre done editing the workout, you can click on SAVE and/or PUBLISH if you want to share your workout with the Bkool community.
Create a workout from an existing one
In addition to creating a workout from scratch, you can also create one from an existing workout. You can choose from all workouts, those created by Bkool or those you already created and want to edit, which is the âMyâ option. Once youâve selected one of the options, click on SELECT A WORKOUT.
This will take you to a workout finder. Use the filters, which youâre already familiar with, to select an existing workout and click CLONE, or go inside the session and click on CLONE at the top right.
This will copy the selected workout to the Workout Creator screen. Now you have to edit the workout to your liking, just as we explained in the âCreate a Workout from Scratchâ section.
When youâre done, simply save your workout. If you want, you can PUBLISH it so itâs available to the entire Bkool community.
Create a workout from an MRC file.
Finally, thereâs one more option for creating a workout. You can import an .MRC file, like the one used by the Training Peaks platform. Just SELECT FILE and pick an .MRC youâve exported. Once selected, click on CREATE WORKOUT and Bkool will automatically create your workout from the .MRC and inform you that âThe workout has been correctly createdâ. Itâs that simple.
Thatâs all for this tutorial on how to use Bkoolâs new Workout Creator. We hope you liked it and that you use it to achieve your goals with professional workouts. Have a great workout Bkoolers!

The 18th of February marked 38 years since the first IronMan
The first edition of an Ironman was held on February 18, 1978. The idea of its creation was John Collins, an official of the US Navy with his wife thought of combining three sports in a long distance challenge suitable only for the strongest and most daring athletes.
That first IronMan had fifteen competitors, including John Collins. The competition involved the combination of the swimming a distance of 3.86km in the Waikiki Roughwater, followed by 185.07km cycling and running 42km. Of those brave fifteen who took on the challenge, twelve managed to finish the winner was Gordon Haller, who finished with a time of 11 hours, 46 minutes and 58 seconds. Collins proposed came up with the name IronMan for the winner, and now year after year people from all over the world take part in this 3 stage event.
Since the first IronMan, there are many great stories from a range of different people. Here we have listed some of the most important:
Lyn Lemaire, the first Ironman
Only a year after the first edition, the competition was held again, but this time with an initial enrollment of 50 participants. However, bad weather forced the event to be delayed by one day, reducing the number of riders to just 15. This time, the winner of the race was Tom Warren, with a time of 11 hours, 15 minutes and 56 seconds. During this event there was a woman taking part! Her name was Lyn Lemaire and crossed the finish line in sixth place, becoming the first IronWoman in history.
Ironman 1980, international recognition
It was in during the third year of the IronMan when the co-founders gave television rights to WWS. Until then, the competition had been growing in fame in the country, gaining followers and participants but not enjoy international recognition. But the arrival of the cameras and TV broadcasting ended up turning to the test in a world famous race, growing in followers and competitors massively each year.
Julie Moss and the image that went down in history
After just two years since the first television footage of the event when the cameras started rolling during the 1982 edition of the IronMan, they recorded an image that would circle the world. Still there were no social networks and the Internet as we know it today, no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram but in fact, it was not necessary. With just a few meters to go until the finish line, student Julie Moss was leading the race! However, exhaustion and dehydration took over and her legs gave up preventing her from reaching the finish line, but her pride and motivation gave her the strength to dig deep and continue. She managed to find the strength to crawl across the finish line with everyone watching on TV. She didnât win the race, but she did manage to finish.
John MacLean, an example pure determination
Just being able to finish an IronMan test, no matter the time is a real test of determination, strength and skill. Back in 1997, there was another case which will go down in history as something very special from this extremely tough race. John MacLean was the first paralysed athlete to complete an IronMan challenge. He modified his bicycle so that he could use the power in his arms to move the bike. Definitely a true example of determination for all sports men and women.
