FAQ after three months

Performance and durability of your Stajvelo

Muscular

What is the advantage of a professional service at this stage?

This service allows for verification that the wear on your bike is normal and consistent with your riding style. It is the guarantee of maintaining your machine's original performance and anticipating any future needs to ride with peace of mind.

Why do my contact points (saddle, handlebars) seem to need tightening?

Road vibrations can, over time, create very slight play. A quick check of the tightening at the cockpit and seat post level not only guarantees your safety but also eliminates any potential stray noises.

Does the carbon frame require a specific inspection?

We advise taking advantage of cleaning to visually inspect your frame, especially under the down tube and around the wheel mounts. This ensures that gravel impacts haven't damaged the protective finish of the carbon fiber.

Do my wheels need to be checked after riding on varied roads?

Carbon wheels are very robust but may require a tension check. A technician can ensure your wheels are perfectly true and that the bearings still spin with the same fluidity as when they left the workshop.

How can I maintain the exceptional fluidity of my drivetrain?

The precision of a performance bike relies on cleanliness. Regular cleaning of the chain and sprockets followed by light oiling reduces friction, gaining you efficiency with every pedal stroke without extra effort.

My gear shifts are less crisp, what should I do?

After a few hundred kilometers, the cables have stabilized. A manual or electronic micro-adjustment is often necessary to regain that immediate and precise click feeling that characterizes your high-performance equipment.

How do I detect wear on my performance tires?

Examine the tread for small cuts or central flattening. Tires in good condition are essential for your safety in corners and for maintaining the low rolling resistance that makes your bike so fast.

Are my brakes still as high-performing as on day one?

Braking power depends on the condition of the discs and pads. If you feel a longer lever throw or a loss of bite, it is a sign that a small adjustment or cleaning of the braking surfaces is needed to guarantee pinpoint stops.

Electric

Is this the ideal time for my first full service?

Yes, the three-month mark is the perfect time for a "health check." A technician can check for any play in the steering, the precise tightening of every component, and ensure your bike is still perfectly tuned for your safety.

How can I durably protect the shine of my carbon frame?

After several hundred kilometers, micro-splatter can dull the frame. Applying a specific protective wax after cleaning helps protect the carbon fiber from UV rays and external elements while making future washes easier.

Does the electronic shifting system require an update?

The onboard technology can sometimes benefit from updates to improve energy management or shifting speed. Feel free to ask for a quick diagnostic during your shop visit to check if your software is up to date.

How can I optimize tire performance based on my usage?

Once you have found your bearings, you can fine-tune your tire pressure. Slightly lower pressure will offer more comfort and grip on rough roads, while higher pressure will favor battery range on smooth surfaces.

How can I ensure the motor maintains its original power?

A clean and well-ventilated motor is the key to performance. Avoid accumulating mud or dust around the drive unit and never spray high-pressure water directly onto the system to protect the internal seals and sensors.

What habits should I adopt for long-term battery health?

After a few months, avoid frequent incomplete charge cycles. If you do not use your bike for several days, the ideal approach is to keep the battery between 30% and 70% of its capacity and store it in a room at ambient temperature.

Why does the chain require special attention on my electric model?

The motor's power puts more strain on the drivetrain than on a conventional bike. We advise you to clean and lubricate your chain approximately every 200 kilometers with a suitable product to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth gear shifts.

Should I already be checking my brake pads after three months?

With the weight of the bike and higher average speeds, the pads work intensely. A visual check of their thickness is recommended at this stage, especially if you have been riding in wet weather or urban environments with frequent stops.
