Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the front wheel quick-release or axle bolt is tightened to manufacturer specifications before the first ride. The mechanical disc brakes may require a short 'bedding-in' period to reach maximum stopping power; perform a few controlled stops from moderate speeds to seat the pads.
Care instructions include:
- Drivetrain Maintenance: Keep the chain lightly lubricated and free of thick grime to ensure the Microshift system continues to index properly.
- Brake Adjustment: As brake pads wear, use the barrel adjusters on the brake levers or the tension bolt on the brake calipers to maintain a firm lever feel.
- Tire Pressure: Check pressure before each ride to ensure it stays within the sidewall-recommended range for the best balance of traction and rim protection.
- Storage: Store indoors when not in use to prevent oxidation of the alloy components and to keep the cable housings from drying out.
