What kind of maintenance should I do on my X-class?Updated 3 months ago

Below is a basic outline for the maintenance that your bike may need. You can find more detailed instructions in your owner's manual. 

• The best defense against loose components is a routine inspection before every ride. This will help you catch potential problems before they develop into safety hazards. Most pre-ride inspection adjustments can be made with a simple bike multitool. The necessary tools for this are already provided with the bike. 

• Having properly inflated tires helps prevent flats. Check the sidewall of your tire for the recommended tire pressure. While you’re checking the air, take the opportunity to ensure your quick-release levers and thru-axles (if you have them) are properly tightened as well. Then, before you ride, make sure you have your patch kit and pump with you.
• Squeeze your front and rear brake levers to make sure that the brakes engage properly and smoothly.
• Look at your chain and all the gears. Keeping your chain lubricated and everything clean will ensure your bike shifts easier and the drivetrain (made up of the front chainrings, rear freewheel, rear derailleur, and chain) lasts longer.
