Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or lack stopping power.

Check brake fluid levels, bleed the brakes if necessary, and inspect brake pads for wear. Ensure the rotors are clean and free of contaminants.

Gears are not shifting smoothly.

Adjust the derailleur indexing, check the cable tension, and lubricate the chain and derailleurs. Ensure the rear derailleur hanger is straight.

Tires keep getting flat.

Check tires for punctures. If the tires are tubeless, make sure they are properly sealed. Add sealant if needed. Also, inspect the rim tape, and ensure it covers all spoke holes.
