Maintenance Tips
-
Clean regularly: Wipe frame with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to protect the lacquer finish and reduce corrosion.
-
Lubricate drivetrain: Apply a quality bike chain lube every 100–150 km (60–90 mi) or after wet rides to maintain smooth shifting.
-
Check folding joints: Inspect and tighten hinge bolts weekly; apply light grease to pivots to prevent squeaks and wear.
-
Brake care: Check brake pads for wear monthly; keep rims clean to ensure stopping power and extend pad life.
-
Tire pressure: Inflate to the recommended psi printed on the tire before each ride for optimal performance and puncture resistance.
-
Storage: Store indoors or use a bike cover to minimize UV fade and protect the amethyst lacquer from weather exposure.
