I've just washed my e-bike and given it a good looking over for wear or damage. Everything seems fine but, as I've never had an e-bike before, I thought I should check the user handbook to see if they recommend any specific checks or maintenance. I now know that I have RIM WEAR INDICATORS! Woo! What wizardry is this?! I've just checked my cheapy Decathlon folder and that has them too. My Raleigh Amazon doesn't, so this technology must've come in some time in the last 40 years. You look away for 10 minutes and BAM! everything has changed. I'd actually thought that the Decathlon bike just had really soft rims. 😄 #Cycling #Bike

    @aroundthehills@mastodonapp.uk Dots or stripe indicator? I've also seen a lot of posts like "I bought new tyres, and they've got holes in the tread. Are they safe, or should I demand a refund ?", when they're looking at tread wear indicators.🤪
