To clarify, just checking these things doesn’t do anything. Checking them, knowing what’s wrong, and then taking action is what saves you a ton of money.
Well that is one of the things I have no idea about. But maybe it depends on the type of mechanism you use? I can’t imagine it would be too hard with my bike.
Yes probably, the last time i attempted this was with my old bike, which had one of those horrible 3x8 shifters. I guess it would be a lot easier with my current 1x12
Mainly to get to work (10 minutes), but also all other short ways and occasionally getting out in nature.
As soon as money allows it, I’ll get a better one though. It’s used and I mainly bought it because the seller was close to where I live, but I need a larger frame and I want more modern mechanics, e.g. disc brakes, overall.
Repairing your bike is easy and checking the important parts every couple of months makes riding it a lot better.
Same thing with cars. Checking tires increases milage, checking fluids can save you a ton of money, changing oil isn’t hard and takes basic tools.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Idk I try to take care of my bike but replacing the chain and adjusting the gears is something I’ll probably never wrap my head around
It would be very simple to show you in person but difficult via text. YouTube would have good video instruction though.

I’m still yet to lubricate my chains. I know I need to.
Also what do you use your bike for?
