FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the lockout fork?
The lockout feature prevents the fork from compressing, which is highly beneficial when riding on smooth roads or steep climbs to avoid energy loss.
Can I upgrade the tyres to a wider size?
The frame clearance is designed for standard trail tyres, but we recommend consulting a local mechanic to ensure your chosen width fits within the chainstay clearance.
How often should I clean the bike?
For optimal performance, clean the bike after every muddy ride, focusing specifically on the drivetrain and the disc brake rotors.
Is this bike suitable for downhill racing?
No, the Haste 1.0 is designed for trail and cross-country riding; it is not suitable for aggressive downhill racing or large jumps.
What tool is required to adjust the saddle height?
The bike typically comes with a quick-release seat post clamp, allowing for tool-free adjustment of the saddle height.
Troubleshooting
Gears not shifting smoothly
Adjust the barrel adjusters on the rear derailleur or the cable tension at the shifter to ensure the chain aligns correctly with the cassette cogs.
Brakes feel weak or spongey
Clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants, then adjust the mechanical brake cable tension to move the pads closer to the rotor.
Front suspension feels stiff
Ensure the lockout lever on the fork crown is set to the 'open' position and check that the stanchions are clean and lightly lubricated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon initial setup, ensure that the handlebars are centered and tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Check the gear index settings to ensure all 21 speeds transition cleanly without chain rub. To maintain the Haste 1.0, keep the drivetrain clean and lubricated with a high-quality bicycle chain oil. Regularly inspect the 160mm disc rotors for signs of oil contamination or warping, as these can affect braking consistency. Check the tyre pressure before every ride to match the terrain—lower pressures provide more grip on loose trails, while higher pressures reduce rolling resistance on hardpack surfaces. Periodically check all bolt torques, particularly at the stem, seat post, and crank arms, to ensure safety and prevent creaking.
