Troubleshooting
Shifting is imprecise or noisy
Check derailleur adjustment. Ensure cables are clean and properly tensioned. Lubricate the chain and cassette. For persistent issues, consult a bike mechanic.
Brakes feel weak or spongy
Check brake pad alignment and wear. Inspect brake lines for leaks. The hydraulic system may need bleeding; this is best performed by a qualified mechanic.
Chain is skipping or falling off
Inspect chain and cassette for wear. Ensure the front and rear derailleurs are correctly aligned. Check for bent teeth on chainrings or cassette.
Wheels are not securely fastened
Ensure thru axles are fully inserted and tightened to the correct torque specification. Check that the dropouts are clean and free of debris.
