Welcome to our first Tech Q&A, a new monthly series where your burning questions are answered by some of the most experienced experts in cycling.\u00a0<\/p>

In this series, we aim to answer your questions from our unparalleled access to the greatest minds in cycling, both on the BikeRadar staff and externally.\u00a0<\/p>

In this inaugural edition, we received questions on why a chain might drop when you pedal backwards, how to attach luggage to a bike without any mounts, whether manufacturer\u2019s torque specs are for wet or dry fasteners and many more.\u00a0<\/p>

And remember, if you have a question that you just can\u2019t find the answer to, email us at podcast@bikeradar.com<\/a>. Every month, we\u2019ll select the most interesting questions and bring you an expert-level response.\u00a0<\/p>
