Troubleshooting

Bike won't shift gears smoothly

Ensure the derailleur cables are clean and properly tensioned. Check for any obstructions in the derailleur mechanism. A professional adjustment may be needed.

Brakes feel weak or are noisy

Clean the brake pads and rim surface. Check brake pad alignment. For cantilever brakes, ensure the brake cable tension is adequate. Replace worn brake pads.

Tires losing air

Inspect tires and tubes for punctures. Ensure the tire bead is properly seated on the rim. Check the Schrader valve for leaks.

Chain is skipping or falling off

Verify that the front and rear derailleurs are correctly adjusted. The chain may be worn or need lubrication.
