Troubleshooting

Bike makes a clicking noise when pedaling

This could be a loose pedal, crank arm, or chain. Check that pedals are securely tightened into the crank arms and that crank arms are firmly attached to the bottom bracket. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and lubricated.

Brakes are not stopping effectively

Check the brake pads for wear and ensure they are aligned with the rim or rotor. Adjust the brake cable tension to increase stopping power. For mechanical disc brakes, ensure the brake levers are not excessively loose and that the cable is properly routed.

Gears are skipping or difficult to shift

The gear cables may need adjustment. Ensure the derailleur is correctly aligned and that the shifter cables are properly tensioned. It is recommended to have a bicycle mechanic perform gear adjustments if you are unfamiliar with the process.

Bike feels heavy or difficult to pedal

Verify tire pressure is adequate. Check for any obstructions in the drivetrain or wheels. Ensure the brakes are not dragging.
