Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a list of the most common questions we receive from customers. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us directly!

Bikes & Features 

Does my bike need to be adjusted when it arrives?

We take many steps to have a bike delivered as close to ready-to-ride as possible. As with any bike, shipping and normal use can make it possible for hardware to vibrate loose over time. With a periodic checks and adjustments, including after assembly, you can keep your bike in great shape so it's ready for any ride! Please check out your bike's Owner's Manual to see hardware torque specifications to keep your bike safe and fun to ride.

We also recommend getting an initial tune-up from a local, certified, and reputable bike mechanic within the first 80-160 km/50-100 miles. A tune-up that covers the most common adjustments (like brakes, spokes, derailleur, and tires) is a great way to keep your bike in great shape and keep you riding Rad!
