We have a BOB Ironman that has a lot of miles on it and is so beat up I can't currently fold it all the way. We've been running with it for almost 4 years, including in lots of rain, slush, and snow. Have any others experienced this wear and tear, and what sort of rehab worked for you? I don't even know where to start in terms of figuring out what parts need replacing. TIA!

We don't have a jogging stroller but we take our Uppababy Vista in sandy/wet conditions frequently. Uppababy has a Tune-Up program that travels around the country and we took ours in when they were in our town. They removed the wheels and cleaned all of the bearings then re-lubricated them. They used a product called Buggylove Wheel lubricant so we bought some and have used it every few months since then. They also checked that all the folding joints were clean and tight. If yours isn't folding I'd say check the folding mechanism to see that all parts are tight, free of debris and that nothing is actually broken. If you can't visually locate the issue, I'd recommend calling the manufacturer and try to talk though the issue. They may have some additional adjustments that aren't immediately visible.

A bike shop might also be able to help give it a once over if you have a local one!

@car dad that is so awesome! I didn't think of the bike shop @truth bombs--I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!
