Troubleshooting

Gears not shifting smoothly

Check derailleur hanger alignment and ensure cables are clean and properly tensioned. If the issue persists, a professional tune-up may be needed.

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Inspect brake pads for wear and clean rotors. If using hydraulic brakes, the system may need to be bled by a mechanic.

Forks feel stiff or unresponsive

Ensure the fork's preload adjustment is set correctly. For persistent stiffness, the fork may require internal servicing.

Tire goes flat frequently

Check tire pressure regularly. Inspect tires for cuts or embedded objects, and check the inner tube for damage or pinholes. Consider using tire sealant for added protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: Upon receiving the bike, it is recommended to have it assembled and tuned by a qualified bicycle mechanic to ensure all components are correctly installed and adjusted for safety and optimal performance. This includes proper torquing of bolts, alignment of the handlebars and saddle, and adjustment of brakes and gears.

Compatibility: The bike is designed with standard components. It accepts aftermarket racks and kickstands compatible with its frame mounts. The frame is also ready for a dropper post if an upgrade is desired.

Care:

Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame, drivetrain, and wheels with water and a mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing, especially near bearings.
Lubrication: Keep the chain clean and lubricated with bike-specific chain lube. Reapply after riding in wet conditions.
Brakes: Periodically check brake pad wear and rotor cleanliness. Hydraulic brakes require professional servicing if issues arise.
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 direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
