Clean & Maintain Your Bike

A clean bike is a fast bike — and more importantly, it’ll last way longer.

Less wear = more savings.
So... how do you clean your bike?
How do you lube the chain?
What if it rains and your bike’s soaked?

This page covers all that and more — so your ride stays dialed in.

Cleaning & Lubing Your Bike Chain

A clean, lubed chain shifts better, sounds smoother, and boosts your bike’s life.

Bonus: It protects your cassette and drivetrain from premature wear.

Why use bike-specific degreasers?
Because dish soap works... kinda. But bike degreasers clean faster, dry quicker, and prep your chain for lube like pros do it.

Pumping Up Your Tires

Always check your tire pressure before every ride.

Your tire sidewall shows the ideal PSI range.

Running tubeless (TLR)? Same deal — but be sure to check for sealant every few weeks. Tubeless maintenance tips coming soon!

How to Wash Your Bike

Yes, you can use dish soap — but bike-specific products are way better.

They’re engineered to protect paint, seals, and parts — and rinse clean fast.

How To: Do A Pre-Ride Check

Don’t roll out without a quick check.

Tires? Brakes? Chain? Gears?
A 30-second habit = fewer breakdowns and safer rides.
