Troubleshooting
Gears are not shifting smoothly.
Check and adjust the derailleur indexing. Ensure the cables are tensioned correctly. Lubricate the chain and derailleurs. If the issue persists, consult a professional bike mechanic.
Brakes feel spongy or weak.
Bleed the hydraulic brakes to remove air from the system. Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear. Ensure brake levers are adjusted correctly.
Tires are losing air.
Check for punctures and seal them with tire sealant or replace the tube. Ensure the valve core is tight. Inflate tires to the recommended pressure.
Creaking noises while riding.
Check and tighten all bolts, especially the bottom bracket, pedals, and seatpost. Lubricate moving parts and contact points. If the noise persists, consult a professional bike mechanic.
