Maintenance Tips

• Clean frame, fork, drivetrain, and hubs after snow, sand, mud, or wet rides to prevent buildup and corrosion.

• Inspect steel frame and welds regularly for chips, scratches, or early rust formation.

• Touch up exposed metal promptly to prevent long-term corrosion.

• Apply internal frame rust inhibitor periodically, especially after winter, coastal, or wet conditions.

• Check drivetrain for wear, proper shifting, and keep chain clean and well-lubricated.

• Inspect brakes for pad wear, rotor condition, and reliable stopping power in loose terrain.

• Ensure bolts, axles, and wheel interfaces are tight and secure before rides.

• Maintain correct fat tire pressure for terrain to protect rims and improve traction.

• Keep bearings and hubs clean and serviced for smooth performance in harsh conditions.

• Store indoors in a dry environment to preserve steel frame durability and finish.

• Perform routine pre-ride safety checks of tires, brakes, and shifting before every ride.
