Maintenance Tips    

• Clean carbon frame, fork, and drivetrain after gravel or wet rides to prevent grit buildup and drivetrain wear.

• Inspect carbon frame regularly for cracks, deep scratches, or impact damage—especially after rough gravel use.

• Use correct torque settings on all clamps and mounts to avoid damaging carbon components.

• Check Shimano Ultegra/GRX 2x11 drivetrain for smooth shifting, chain wear, and proper lubrication.

• Inspect chain, cassette, and chainrings regularly and replace when worn for consistent performance.

• Clean and service hydraulic disc brakes for pad wear, rotor condition, and reliable stopping power.

• Ensure thru-axles, stem, and cockpit bolts are properly tightened before rides.

• Check wheel trueness and tire condition for stable handling on mixed terrain.

• Store indoors in a dry environment to protect carbon frame and components.

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