To maintain your bike correctly, you need to have the right tools.

Read the article below to find out what checks you need to make on your bike before going out for a ride:
The tyres are the only part of your bike that are in contact with the ground. It's important to minimise the risk of them losing grip, which is why it's important to make sure they are inflated to the right pressure. Check out our advice here:
To set your saddle correctly it needs to be securely in place. A loose seat post can slip when you're out and about on your bike. Conversely, if it's too tight, you run the risk of crushing the seat post and damaging your bike. The best way to tighten a seat post is to use a torque wrench. We recommend you tighten it to between 6 and 7Nm. Take care not to exceed the maximum height indicated on the seat post.
Riding around with worn tyres brings the following risks with it: Loss of grip. Greater exposure to punctures. In this article, we'll tell you how to avoid punctures.
To find out if your brake pads are worn, you need to check the thickness of the rubber remaining on the pad. If it has been worn down to the wear indicator, then you need to change your brake pads.
Are your pedals broken? Do you want to change your pedals for clipless ones? Here's our advice. NB: please note that the screw thread on the left pedal is inverted and that the pedal thus screws on in an anti-clockwise direction. The right pedal has a standard screw thread. Please use the correct tool to take your pedals off as force needs to be exerted to unscrew them.
If you pick up a puncture, our tutorial will tell you how to change your inner tube.
The tape on your handlebar will wear over time and you'll need to change it occasionally.
There are several things you can do if your brakes aren't working as well as they used to: - Use a degreaser to clean the rims. - Check the brake pads for wear. - Check the tension of the cable.
It's important to change your brake pads before they become too worn. It makes for safe riding.

If your gears are slipping, you need to check the following: - Wear on your drive train. - The tension of the cables. You then need to adjust the derailleur.
Here's some useful advice on how to change your chain correctly.
Is your drive train worn? Do you need to change the number of cogs on your cassette? Watch our tutorial video to find out how to change your cassette. Please note: the maximum cassette size for this bike is 11 - 34.
Are your chainrings worn? Do you want to change the number of teeth? It's easy to change your chainrings. To do so, simply use an Allen key to undo the bolt that holds the chainrings on. Then install the new chainrings. On this bike, the minimum chainring size is 34t.
