Maintenance Tips

• Clean the frame regularly after wet, gravel, or trail rides to prevent corrosion and preserve the steel finish.
• Inspect chromoly frame and fork for paint chips, rust spots, dents, or impact damage; touch up exposed steel quickly.
• Apply internal rust inhibitor annually to protect steel tubes, especially in humid or coastal conditions.
• Grease all threaded interfaces (bottom bracket, headset, thru-axles, bottle/rack mounts) to prevent seizing.
• Check rack, fender, and cargo mounts frequently—this frameset is often used for commuting and bikepacking loads.
• Ensure brake mounts and dropouts stay clean and properly aligned for consistent disc brake performance.
• Maintain proper tire clearance when switching between 27.5” and 700c wheel setups or wider tires.
• Avoid pressure washing, which can force moisture into bearings and frame openings.
• Store indoors in a dry environment to maximize durability and finish longevity.
