- Verify all fasteners (stem, crank, axles, seatpost) are properly torqued before rides.
- Check fork stanchions for scratches, smooth travel, and any oil leaks; service per manufacturer intervals.
- Keep wheel hubs, axles, and dropouts clean to ensure proper alignment and secure fit.
- Avoid high-pressure washing to protect bearings, seals, and drivetrain components.
- Store indoors in a dry place and re-check bolt torque after initial rides as parts bed in.
