Troubleshooting
Gears not shifting smoothly
Check for cable tension, ensure the derailleur is properly aligned, and clean/lubricate the drivetrain components.
Brakes feel spongy or weak
Check brake fluid levels and bleed the hydraulic system if necessary. Inspect brake pads for wear and rotor for contamination.
Chain skipping or dropping
Inspect the chain and cassette for wear. Ensure the derailleur is correctly indexed and the chain is properly tensioned.

Accessories: The frame features mounts for most standard pannier racks, fenders, and bottle cages. Ensure accessories are compatible with post-mount disc brakes if applicable.
Tires: The frame and fork clearance accommodate tires up to 700x35c. Wider tires can be fitted for increased comfort, provided they do not rub on the frame or fork.
Pedals: Standard flat pedals are often included or can be purchased separately. Compatibility with clipless pedals is possible with appropriate shoe and pedal selection.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: Regularly clean the bike with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing, especially around bearings.
Lubrication: Keep the chain lubricated, especially after riding in wet conditions. Apply a suitable bike chain lubricant.
