Troubleshooting

Gears are skipping or not shifting smoothly

Check the derailleur hanger for alignment. Ensure the derailleur cable is properly tensioned and free from damage. Lubricate the chain and cassette.

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Bleed the hydraulic brake system to remove air bubbles. Check brake pads for wear and ensure rotors are clean and free of oil.

Tyres are not holding air (tubeless setup)

Ensure the tubeless rim tape is properly sealed. Check for small punctures in the tire or valve stem. Add more sealant if necessary.

Unusual noises during pedaling

Inspect the bottom bracket for tightness and wear. Check crank arm bolts and pedal tightness. Listen to pinpoint the source of the noise.
