1. Clean Your Bike Regularly

Dust, mud, and grime can impact performance. Use a gentle cleaner and soft brush to wash your bike weekly.

2. Lubricate the Chain

Apply bike-specific lube to the chain and moving parts. Wipe off excess oil to avoid dirt buildup.

3. Check Tire Pressure

Ensure optimal pressure for comfort and speed. Road bike tires generally require 80–120 PSI.

4. Inspect Brakes

Check brake pads for wear and replace them if they look thin. Make sure cables are tight and responsive.

5. Tighten Bolts

Loose bolts can affect safety. Use a torque wrench to secure bolts to manufacturer specifications.

6. Schedule Professional Service

Even with regular DIY care, a professional tune-up ensures everything is perfectly aligned and safe.
