This week on our More Women More Miles series, we are so lucky to be joined by bike mechanic extraordinaire Casey Wytske. Casey has years of experience working as a mechanic in the cycling industry, and also teaching courses on bike mechanics. In this hands-on session Casey goes over all of the things we need to know in order to get our bikes ready to take on UNBOUND Gravel, or any other gravel event. To start off, she goes over tire selection to maximize comfort, efficiency and safety, as well as tips on how to find the right tire pressure. Casey also goes over the essential tools you need in your bag for any gravel ride, and then dives into a step by step bike check, including how to check and top up sealant in tubeless tires. Next Casey goes over fixing a flat and patching holes in your tire, as well as keeping your bike clean and running smooth on the course.If you’d prefer to watch this episode on Youtube you can head over to https://www.youtube.com/live/txvQF_ZMSz0?si=Fqtf3ExCNcPhdupq to watch the video.To register for the UNBOUND brunch head over to https://register.chronotrack.com/r/85545 Follow Casey on Instagram @o_acaciaFollow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/ Feisty’s Lift Heavy Guide: Get your guide to lifting heavy plus a 4-week training plan at https://www.womensperformance.com/lift-heavy
