General Service & Bike Sizing

Maintenance schedule

Every Ride

Pump your tires to the PSI stamped on the sidewall. Check air pressure, brakes, and quick releases before you go.

Weekly

Lubricate the chain. Check that your handlebar and seat are secure. Inspect wheel alignment, spoke tension, and tire tread.

Monthly

Examine drivetrain components for wear. Lubricate gear shifters. Confirm all bolts and parts are properly secured.

Annually

Re-grease bearings. Replace a worn chain or cassette. Check frame and fork alignment. Protect steel components from rust.
