About TekTekMor

Purpose of the site

TekTekMor brings together technical information on maintaining, adjusting, and preparing bicycles for Canadian seasons and climate. Content is organized in themed articles covering the mechanical topics most often faced by cyclists in Canada.

Articles address topics such as road salt effects on the drivetrain, choosing winter tires, spring tune-ups after cold weather, and procedures for adjusting brakes and derailleurs.

Geographic scope

Content reflects conditions specific to Canada: freeze–thaw cycles, road salt from November through March depending on province, and climate differences between British Columbia and Québec. Regional references (cycling networks in Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver) are cited when they add practical context.

Sources and methodology

Technical information on this site is based on:

• Manufacturer technical documentation (Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Park Tool)
• Resources from recognized Canadian cycling organizations (Vélo Québec, Cycling Canada)
• Public information from Canadian municipalities on winter cycling networks

Claims without a verifiable source are avoided. When information is not confirmed by a reliable public source, neutral, non-numeric wording is used.

Language

Content is written in Canadian English. Some technical terms remain in common industry usage (e.g. V-brake, barrel adjuster, wet lube).
