Smart Riding Tips

Maintain a neutral spine with elbows slightly bent and shoulders relaxed. This reduces fatigue and prevents strain on your back and joints.

Shift gears before you need to - anticipate hills and changes in terrain. Avoid cross-chaining (large chainring with large cog or small chainring with small cog).

Check brake pad wear, cable tension, and lever responsiveness before each ride. Replace pads when worn to 1mm thickness or less.
