Troubleshooting
Bike makes grinding noise when pedaling
Check the crankset and bottom bracket for tightness. Ensure the chain is clean and lubricated, and the cassette and chainrings are free from debris.
Brakes are weak or squealing
Clean the brake rotors and pads with isopropyl alcohol. Check pad wear and replace if necessary. Ensure hydraulic brake lines are free of air bubbles.
Gears are skipping or not shifting smoothly
Adjust the derailleur indexing using the barrel adjuster. Check the derailleur hanger for alignment and ensure the cable is not frayed.

Ensure the preload setting is adjusted correctly for rider weight. For significant issues, the suspension may require professional servicing.
