Most common repairs on recumbent trikes

[@NoSelf23]

Thanks, James! You've always taken good care of our Ramblers. They are still in top condition after 4 years. I highly recommend Laid Back Cycles.

Good info and advice. I've looked at Sheldon Brown's online bike maintenance encyclopedia in the past and got some good guidance there too.

[@LaidBackCycles]

Sheldon did a lot of good work back in his day. Such a great resource.

I live on the Scottish coast and lube the cables every 6 months, all my trikes a stored indoors.

[@LaidBackCycles]

Yep, you've got to keep those cables lubed, especially in areas with more moisture.

Great to see you riding

Please let me know which lubricant do you recommend for chains?

[@LaidBackCycles]

Which area do you live? There's lube for wet, dry and dirty climates.

@@MickeyOBrien-dm3ud Thanks for the information! I have been using 3in1 oil because that's what I used 50 years ago. Do I need to degrease the chain before applying the teflon?

@@LaidBackCycles what about for dry climates like Las Vegas? Thanks again for helping me out getting my 559! -Cesar

What to do if the brake lines don’t work, dried out and not moving? Thank you

[@LaidBackCycles]

I recommend taking it to your local shop to have them check it out.
