General Maintenance

Inspect all suspension bolts and tighten if necessary to required torque
settings.
Do not use high-pressure water sources to wash or rinse bicycle. Doing so
can displace any lubricants that are present, as well as possibly forcing
water and/or contaminants into the bearing that can harm the pivot and
bearing, reduce performance, and cause premature wear. Use only low
pressure water, or bucket water with a soft nylon bristle brush and mild dish
soap to clean the frame and components.
Always use Loctite
Threadlock (#242) or similar material on thread of fixing bolts of calipers
and rotors during re-assembly.
