These. Basic Bike these days just don’t need as much daily maintenance. 😿
Biggest outside case I am always paranoid about is a loosening headset or bottom bracket. If you ever notice any knocking up front fix immediately. Chris King headsets seem to have also removed this small piece of bicycle maintenance tho.
Do not pressure wash your bike! You will end up degreasing all those fancy sealed bearings.
Sway. I look around every few months but nothing usually, um, erm pendulates my interest. I have hyprland installed…but my config file breaks with every update, and it’s rice first, function later. I’m an opposite-ricer. I like to strip all decorations.
