Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Haste 1.0 arrives 85% assembled. Basic assembly tools are included to assist with the process. Essential steps typically include installing the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and seatpost. It is strongly recommended to have the bike professionally assembled and checked by a local cycle shop to ensure all components are correctly fitted and adjusted for safety and optimal performance. This includes proper torque settings for bolts and adjustment of brakes and gears.
Compatibility: The bike is equipped with 650B wheels. It is designed for off-road use, compatible with standard bicycle repair stands and racks. Tire clearance is suitable for the included WTB Ranger tires, but check manufacturer specifications for maximum tire width if considering an upgrade.
Care: To maintain the Haste 1.0, regularly clean the frame and components using mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers. Keep the drivetrain clean and lubricated, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Periodically check brake pad wear and adjust cables as needed. Ensure suspension fork stanchions are kept clean. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent corrosion. It is advisable to have the bike serviced annually by a qualified mechanic.
