Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: While many bikes are shipped partially assembled, professional assembly is recommended to ensure all components are correctly installed and adjusted for safety and optimal performance. This includes proper torquing of bolts and adjustment of brakes and gears.
Compatibility: The FX 1 is designed to accommodate a wide range of accessories. It features standard mounts for most common racks (front and rear), mudguards, kickstands, and bicycle lights. The 27.2 mm seatpost diameter allows for various aftermarket seatpost options.
Care and Maintenance: Regular cleaning of the frame and drivetrain is essential. Keep the chain lubricated with appropriate bike chain lubricant. Periodically check brake pad wear and adjust cables as needed. Ensure tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure (listed on the tyre sidewall). For the mechanical disc brakes, periodically clean the rotors with a disc brake cleaner and inspect the brake pads for wear.
