Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup starts with ensuring the seat height and handlebar reach are dialed in for the endurance geometry, which may differ from traditional race bike fits. Always check that the quick-release or thru-axle systems are tightened to specification before every ride.
Maintenance Tips:
- Drivetrain: Regularly clean and lubricate the chain to maintain the precision of the Shimano Tiagra system.
- Tyres: Periodically inspect tyre sidewalls for cuts and check pressure to match your specific road conditions.
- Mounts: When using the top tube mounts, ensure that any attached bags are properly secured and do not interfere with your pedaling motion.
- Cleaning: Use mild soap and water to clean the aluminium frame; avoid high-pressure water sprayers which can force grit into the bottom bracket or headset bearings.
