Monsoon Bike Care Tips
Article summary
A few checks that matter more once the rain starts.
In this guide
Before the Rain Sets In
Check tyre tread depth — worn tyres lose grip fast on wet roads — and make sure the chain is clean and lubricated, since road grime mixed with rainwater accelerates wear.
During the Season
Rinse off mud and grit after riding through standing water, and avoid parking in water for long periods, since it can work into electricals and bearings.
What to Watch For
Spongy brakes, a flickering headlight, or a chain that sounds gritty even after cleaning are common monsoon-season symptoms worth getting checked.
