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:

You need to tighten your seat post correctly to make sure it stays 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.

Before you get started, make sure you have compatible tubeless-ready tyres.  Our tutorial video shows you how to fit your tubeless tyres.

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 a puncture. 

To find out if your pads are worn, check the thickness of the brake lining on the pad. You'll need to change the pads if the lining is less than 0.5mm thick.

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 handles become worn with use and there will come a time when you need to change them.

If your disc brakes are making a noise:  - Check that the wheel is properly centred. To do this, loosen the wheel and tighten it up again.  - Check that the brake calliper is in the right position. - Check the brake pads for wear. - Check the tension of your brake cables.  

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 disc. - 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 drivetrain. - The tension of the cables. - The derailleur, to see if it's twisted. You then need to adjust the derailleur.

Here's some useful advice on how to change your chain correctly.

Is your drivetrain 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. NB: the largest cassette that can be fitted on 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.All you need to do is use an Allen key to unscrew the screws holding the chainrings in place. You can then fit the new chainrings. The minimum size of chainring for this bike is 34 teeth.
