Brakes are not stopping effectively

Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the brake rotors are clean and free from grease. Adjust the brake cable tension to increase stopping power. Check that the calipers are properly aligned with the rotors.

Chain is slipping or falling off

Ensure the chain is the correct length and in good condition. Check the chainring and cassette for wear. Verify that the front derailleur (if applicable on future models) or rear derailleur is properly adjusted.

Handlebars feel loose

Check the stem bolts and headset cap. Ensure the stem is properly tightened to the steerer tube and the handlebars are securely clamped in the stem.
