Prep For A Family Bike Ride With Help From Wholesale Tool

Aug. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- The end of summer is drawing near. Kids are heading back to school soon. Life is undoubtedly speeding up in pace in the next few months. Before all of this happens, take the kids out for a fun day and spend some quality time together – away from television, computers and cell phones. Plan something simple – like a family bike ride. But first, make sure your tires are full and your bike is in pristine condition. Wholesale Tool has all of the necessary equipment to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.  First, make sure your bike tires are full. Save yourself a trip to the gas station air compressor and make filling your bike (and car) tires a lot more convenient in the future. See Wholesale Tool’s 20 gallon Precision Air Compressor for only $229. With this system you get two-horsepower air compressor pumps; a ½ inch ratchet kit; a mini oiler; empty oil bottle with spout; hex wrench; 1/4-inch NPT male connector; 1/2-inch drive 5-inch extension; and plastic storage case. The compressor kit is topped off by six point metric 1/2-inch drive sockets in sizes 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 24 and 27 millimeters. Having one of these in your garage can save you a lot of time, energy and quarters.

Next, clean out those bike chains. If you are busy like most parents, you probably haven’t had a chance to ride in a while. The most common way to check the chain is to flip the bike over and inspect the chain for dirt and rust. Use any short bristled brush for the cleaning (a tooth brush will do just fine). Do not use WD-40! It is essentially kerosene. It will clean the chain but it will not lubricate. For cleaning the chain, use Blue Works Industrial Grade Degreaser. It removes grease, oil, dirt and grime. After cleaning, you can use the Blue Works Industrial Grade Multi-Purpose Lubricant. Not only will this prep you for an enjoyable bike ride, it will also prepare your bike for the upcoming fall and winter months by preventing rust and corrosion. The less rust your bike starts out with this winter, the better condition it will be in next year. Find more Wholesale Tool products at - http://www.wttool.com.
