Bicycle maintenance in winter – Wrench your way through winter

In winter, your bike spends more time standing still – ideal for giving it a thorough clean and checking wear parts. Without time pressure, you can carry out repairs, plan upgrades and make sure your bicycle stays safe and reliable. This not only protects materials and your nerves, but also noticeably extends your bike’s lifespan.

With the right setup, wrenching is not only more fun – it also becomes faster, safer and cleaner. From a work stand to a torque wrench: here you’ll learn which equipment you really need and how to equip your home workshop optimally.

A work stand brings stability and comfort to any repair. You work at eye level, have both hands free and protect the frame and components at the same time. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro – there’s a suitable solution for every skill level.

A basic tool kit forms the heart of any home workshop. With Allen keys, Torx keys, tyre levers & more, you can handle the most important tasks yourself – from shortening a chain to changing brake pads. Complete sets offer an ideal starting point for beginners.

Modern bikes – especially carbon and electric bikes – require precise torque values. A good torque wrench protects against damage and ensures that all bolts are tightened with the correct force. Perfect for safety-relevant components.

Cold, wet conditions and road salt change how your bike behaves – and with that, the requirements for tyre pressure and tyre choice. In winter, it’s worth checking tyre pressure regularly and, if necessary, switching to a grippier tread or a tubeless setup. With the right tools, you keep your pressure stable, mount tyres more easily and ensure safe grip on wet or slippery surfaces.

Salt, moisture and dirt put particular strain on your bike during the winter months. With the right care, you can prevent corrosion, wear and unnecessary repairs. In our bike care campaign, you’ll find all the important steps and suitable products for long-lasting winter maintenance.

To keep your bike dry, protected and within easy reach, it should be stored properly during winter. Whether wall mounts, ceiling lifts or floor stands – there’s a suitable solution for every living situation. Tools and small parts can also be organised smartly.

From space-saving wall mounts to practical ceiling lifts – ideal solutions to store your bike safely while making optimal use of your space.

With shelves, boxes or wall rails, you keep an overview in your workshop. Well organised, wrenching becomes faster and less stressful.
