Care, Usage Tips & Safety Precautions
-
Assembly & Pre-Ride Check: Ensure all bolts (stem, handlebar, seatpost, wheels) are properly tightened and the suspension fork is secure. Confirm disc brakes engage smoothly.
-
Seat Height Adjustment: Match saddle height so your feet can lightly touch the ground to aid stability—especially useful during stops.
-
Tyre Inflation: Inflate the DELI 27.5×2.1″ tyres to around 35–45 psi (2.4–3.1 bar) for optimal grip and comfort, adjusting slightly lower for off-road traction.
-
Brake Maintenance: Regularly wipe brake rotors and calipers clean of debris or oil. Ensure brake pads are aligned and responsive before each ride.
-
Chain Care: Wipe the drivetrain clean after rides and lightly lubricate the chain to prevent rust—critical in Malaysia’s humid climate.
-
Safety Gear: Always wear a certified cycling helmet. Consider gloves, protective eyewear, and high-visibility clothing when riding on shared paths or roads.
-
Riding Conditions: Use caution on wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces—disc brakes provide better modulation than rim brakes, but still require adequate stopping distance.
-
Storage Recommendations: Store in a dry, shaded area to maintain frame and component integrity. Regularly check pivot and bolt tightness if trails are your frequent routes.
