FAQs

How often should I lubricate the chain?

Lubricate the chain every 2-3 weeks, or more frequently if riding in wet or dusty conditions.

What tire pressure should I use?

The recommended tire pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tire. Use a pump with a pressure gauge to ensure accuracy.

How do I adjust the seat height?

Use the quick-release lever or seat clamp bolt to adjust the seat height. Ensure the seat is at a comfortable height where the rider can easily reach the pedals.

What is the warranty on the bike?

Warranty information can be found on the manufacturer's website or within the product documentation.

How do I clean the bike?

Use a mild soap solution and a sponge or soft brush to clean the frame. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid using high-pressure water near bearings and other sensitive components.

Troubleshooting

Gears not shifting smoothly.

Check and adjust the gear cables. Ensure the derailleur is properly aligned. Lubricate the chain and derailleurs.

Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Adjust brake cable tension. Clean the brake rims or disc rotors.
