Best Answer

Bike parts may eventually loosen themselves up with time due to the constant vibrations of the bike. Get a repair manual, or ask a local mechanic for the specs. Check to make sure all the bike parts are torqued down sufficiently with the correct amount of foot pounds. You could also try to use something called "Thread Lock."

How much to spend on new road bike for a beginner?

Hey there. It totally depends on what you are willing to pay. Bikes are usually from $100-$250 in range. If you want to get a good bike, get a more expensive and brand name bike. Usually German bikes last long. If you want a cheap bike to learn on, then buy a cheaper bike from about $80-$100. Finding a good road bike that is around $80 is NEARLY impossible. But i would suggest to buy a good bike that is about $120-$150 because it doesn't take that long to learn how to ride a bike. I learned in one day, so if you buy a bike, might as well buy a good one that will last long instead of buying a bike that will break, causing you to waste more money.
