Hiiii!
Bought my 2013 zesty few weeks back now, only got out on it once so far and am planning on a big ride tomorrow with a mate.
Now, as it stands its still my baby. It’s still shiny. It’s still spangly. It’s still new. So I’m scared.
I know that in this weather it will be the last time I see it like this. I’ve got all the cleaning stuff in the garage , chain cleaning device, brushes for gears etc.
My question is, is there anything I can do before the ride to help maintain my new bike??? I’ve got wet lube which I believe will save the drivetrain. Is there anything else I can do???
And what about my forks and the shock??? I’m pretty new to all this stuff but do I need to maintain them at all?? Or do I just stop being a pansy…. And just ride it then clean it. And then get it services in between winter/summer???
Any advice much appreciated!!!
