FAQs

What tire pressure should I use?

The ideal tire pressure depends on your weight, riding style, and terrain. Start with the recommended pressure on the tire sidewall and adjust as needed.

How do I maintain the chain?

Clean and lubricate the chain regularly to prevent rust and ensure smooth shifting. Use a chain cleaner and lubricant suitable for bicycle chains.

How often should I service the brakes?

Inspect the brake pads regularly for wear. The frequency of brake servicing depends on your riding frequency and conditions. Bleed the brakes as needed.

Can I install a dropper post?

Yes, the frame is designed to accommodate a dropper post. Ensure the post is compatible with the seat tube diameter.

What type of pedals should I use?

You can use either flat pedals or clipless pedals, depending on your preference. Ensure the pedals are compatible with your cycling shoes if using clipless pedals.

How do I clean the bike?

Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the frame and components. Avoid using high-pressure washers, which can damage seals and bearings.

Troubleshooting

Shifting issues

Check and adjust the derailleur alignment. Ensure the cables are properly tensioned.

Check brake pads for wear and tear. Bleed the brakes if necessary to remove air bubbles.

Inspect tires regularly and use sealant for tubeless setup. Carry a repair kit for quick fixes.
