Why maintain your bike?
Over the kilometers traveled, certain parts wear out, or can go wrong. Tires, brakes and transmission can, for example, be damaged due to friction and external elements .
It is necessary to have all sensitive components checked frequently by a cycle specialist. The parts affected by a service will be replaced, repaired or adjusted to ensure maximum safety on the road.
The frequency of servicing depends a lot on how you use the bike. It is strongly recommended to have your bike serviced at least twice a year, or more depending on the kilometers traveled. This involves preventing wear on certain parts, or readjusting certain settings (belt tension, hydraulic brake bleeding, tire pressure, wheel spoke tension, etc.).
Proper cleaning will prolong the life and aesthetics of the components. Use a soft cloth to clean your bike. Steam or high pressure cleaning should be avoided.
The Bastille bike has the advantage of being able to be easily stored indoors, thanks to its unique folding. By being stored away from humidity and possible shocks, the folding bike is a valuable asset to protect you from external elements.
The protective cover is also essential for certain everyday situations. On the train, in the car, add additional protection as many times as necessary to avoid scratches or friction on your bike. The Bastille comes with a tailor-made cover: folded and protected, the folding bike becomes easy-to-take luggage.
