How did you fair in your first month or two while riding in terms of miles traveled?
I don’t know how to change a tire and I ride without the proper equipment to change a flat, hope it doesn’t catch up to me.
Any maintenance that I should consider doing…trying to be proactive unless it is too soon.
1)It is probably time to clean and lube the chain
2) A quick clean of the bike with Windex and paper towels.
3) A liitle dry lube on the front and rear derailer after making sure they are clean.
4) Clean and lube the shifting cables at the bottom of the bike.
5) Is the bike shifting right? Cables stretch and you might need to increase tension by turning the barrel adjuster at the rear derailer.
6) Check tires to make sure no glass is stuck in them
7) Are the brakes working correctly?
