A little attention goes a long way

Good maintenance is usually boring in the best way. It is short, repeatable, and enough to catch problems while they are still easy.

  • Check tire pressure before longer rides.
  • Wipe dust and grit off the key contact points.
  • Listen for new noises instead of riding through them.
  • Keep fasteners and touchpoints honest.
  • Charge with some rhythm instead of pure chaos.

These are not glamorous habits. They work anyway.
