Maintenance Tips    

• Keep tires inflated to recommended PSI for speed, control, and puncture resistance.
• Clean and lubricate the chain regularly, especially after wet or dusty rides.
• Inspect and fine-tune the 14-speed drivetrain (derailleurs & shifters) for smooth, precise shifting.
• Check and adjust brakes (rim or disc depending on setup) for strong, even stopping power.
• Tighten stem, handlebars, seat post, and wheel bolts before regular rides.
• Keep drivetrain components clean to reduce friction and extend cassette and chain life.
• Inspect wheels for spoke tension and true alignment to maintain ride efficiency.
• Replace cables and housing if shifting or braking feels slow or inconsistent.
• Store indoors to protect against rust, moisture, and UV damage.
• Schedule a professional tune-up every 6–12 months for peak performance.
