Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I suspect OP doesn’t cycle every week, but is planning to very soon. That’s when this kind of maintenance check is particularly useful.
If you do cycle every week, you’ll notice pretty quickly if the tires are in need of some more pressure. In that case, there’s no need to plan ahead. You just go when you need to go. There’s no need to think about the tires every time.
Its true, I haven't cycled for a while but will need to soon. Flat tires will have worse grip on the road, as far as I can recall anyway...
When it comes to cycling in winter, I prefer to stick with the usual pressure. Using studded tires is also recommended, but not completely mandatory.
To be clear, my tyres were flat, even for summer weather.
Was about time for (un)scheduled maintenance then.
I too need to clean and re-oil my chain.
I tried some grease last time and it seemed fine. Didn't particularly feel any difference, except that it probably withstood the rain a little better.
