How to Keep Your SAVA Bike in Top Shape?
Riding a bike is a great way to get around, stay in shape, and have fun. However, just like any other machine, bikes need regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly and safely. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a newcomer to the sport, this bicycle maintenance guide will help you keep your bike in top shape.
Clean your SAVA bike regularly
Regularly cleaning your SAVA bike is crucial for proper maintenance. Dirt, grime, and dust tend to accumulate on the frame, gears, and other parts, potentially causing rust, corrosion, and other issues. To clean your bike effectively, utilize a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using excessive water or harsh cleaning agents, as they can harm the bike's components.
So, how should the carbon fiber frame be maintained? What matters should be noted?
No sharp objects and excessive force
Use carbon fiber special anti-slip agent
The relatively low torque needed for carbon fiber frames and parts presents the disadvantage of potential slipping. When installing or adjusting carbon fiber seat tubes and handlebars, avoid over-tightening. Apply carbon fiber non-slip agent evenly to the parts requiring tightening to enhance friction between contact surfaces, preventing slipping, and then tighten them to the appropriate torque.
The non-slip agent is suitable for use on carbon fiber seat tubes, handlebars, full carbon fiber saddle bows, and locking parts of carbon fiber fork riser handlebars.
No high temperature exposure
Check the tire pressure regularly
Another crucial aspect of bike maintenance is checking tire pressure. Under-inflated tires can make riding more difficult and raise the risk of punctures, while over-inflated tires can result in a bumpy ride and increase the chance of a blowout. To check tire pressure, utilize a bike pump or gauge. Most bike tires feature a recommended pressure range printed on the side.
