FAQs
What is the maximum tire clearance on this bike?
The bike is equipped with 700x42mm tires and has clearance for slightly wider tires. It's recommended to check for adequate frame and fork clearance for any specific tire you intend to install.
Can I install a different rear rack?
Yes, the frame is equipped with standard rack mounts, allowing compatibility with most aftermarket rear racks. Ensure the rack is designed for your frame size.
What type of pedals are included?
The FX Sport AL Equipped typically comes without pedals. It's recommended to purchase pedals separately based on your riding style and preference.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided in the guide. It lists rider height and inside leg measurements corresponding to frame sizes (S, M, L, XL). Consulting a local bike shop for a professional fitting is also recommended.
Is this bike suitable for long-distance touring?
While capable for shorter tours and loaded commutes due to its rack mounts and comfortable geometry, it's not specifically designed as a dedicated touring bike. For extended self-supported touring, a bike with more robust construction and potentially different gearing might be considered.
How often should I get my bike serviced?
For regular riders, a basic tune-up every 6-12 months is recommended. This includes checking brakes, gears, and overall mechanical condition. More frequent servicing may be needed if you ride in harsh conditions or frequently.
Troubleshooting
Shifting is imprecise or slow
Check the rear derailleur alignment. Ensure the chain is clean and lubricated. Adjust derailleur limit screws and cable tension if necessary, or consult a mechanic.
Brakes are noisy or feel spongy
Clean the brake rotors and pads with isopropyl alcohol. Check brake pad wear. If the lever feels spongy, the hydraulic system may need bleeding, which is best performed by a qualified mechanic.
Bike feels sluggish or heavy
Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Check for drag from the brakes or drivetrain. Clean and lubricate the chain. Ensure no obstructions are present around the wheels.
Lights are not working
Check battery levels or connection for battery-powered lights. For dynamo-powered lights, ensure the connection to the hub/generator is secure and the light itself is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended that the bicycle be assembled by a qualified bicycle mechanic. This ensures that all components are correctly installed, adjusted, and torqued.
Compatibility:
Accessories: The frame features mounts for racks and mudguards, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket accessories. The handlebar stem is Blendr compatible for integrated accessory mounts.
Tires: While the bike comes with 700x42mm tires, the frame and fork generally have clearance for slightly wider tires if desired, though always check for sufficient frame/tire clearance before installation.
Care:
Cleaning: Regularly clean the bike frame, drivetrain, and wheels with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing, especially near bearings.
Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated for smooth shifting and longevity. Use a degreaser for heavy cleaning.
Brakes: Inspect brake pads regularly for wear. Ensure hydraulic brake levers feel firm and consistent.
Tires: Maintain proper tire pressure as indicated on the tire sidewall for optimal performance and to prevent flats.
Storage: Store the bike in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.
