Maintenance Tips    

• Clean the frame after wet, muddy, or salty rides to prevent corrosion and preserve the finish.
• Inspect the frame, fork, rack mounts, and disc brake mounts regularly for cracks, dents, or loose hardware.
• Touch up paint chips promptly to protect exposed steel from rust.
• Apply a rust inhibitor inside the frame tubes annually, especially if riding in wet climates. Steel frames last decades with proper rust prevention.
• Keep headset, bottom bracket, and thru-axle threads greased to prevent seizing and ease future maintenance.
• Check disc brake mounting bolts and rack/fender hardware before long tours.
• Ensure frame drain holes remain clear so trapped moisture can escape.
• Inspect wheel and tire clearance regularly when running loaded touring setups or larger tires.
• Store indoors in a dry environment to maximize frame life and maintain the durable chromoly steel construction.
