Troubleshooting
Bike won't roll smoothly
Check that the wheels are spinning freely and not obstructed. Ensure the chain is properly lubricated and not too tight or loose.
Brakes are not effective
Adjust the brake cable tension. Ensure the brake pads are aligned correctly with the wheel rim. Check for any debris that might be hindering brake function.
