Remove your seat when you lock your bike that way thieves will think twice before they rob your bike. Get a quick release seat clamp make a scrape mark on the seat pipe so you immdiatly know what height setting carry a small rope so when you remove your seat tie it to the back of your back pack. And especially if you have anti theft skewers on both wheels and hex lox nuts on the stem and other important parts. Your very protected then. also use 2 locks

It absolutely eliminated the squeaking and really did make a difference on how much smoother the suspension worked. Happy Trails my friends. Hope this helps anyone who also has had this issue.

I think this is pretty much illusional... If there is huge dirt on the chain: fine, go for it. But most of the wear results from the dirt inside the chain pieces and between those and the toothes of the chain rings. So simply rubbing with a towel and degreaser on it over the chain mostly only wipes superficial dirt..

This is not what you should be doing BEFORE every ride, rather after every ride, waiting to clean off the dirt untill your next ride means you just allow these substances to corrode everything while it's sitting there, especially for the chain. if water got on the chain and it washed away the lube and you wait untill he next ride to clean and relube the chain might have already started rusting. The fork, shock and dropper don't really matter much when you clean them as much but it's still better to do it after a ride rather than before. Exept tire pressure, that should be done before
