Tip no. 1Check tyre pressuresand shock absorbers
Air escapes from tyres and shock absorbers when they are stationary. Be sure to check the pressure of your tyres and shock absorbers according to your ride and the terrain you will be riding on. An air shock absorber requires a high-pressure pump, which is available from professional shops.

Tip no. 2Check wearbrake pads
To carry out this check, remove the wheels, turn the bike over and remove the brake discs to check the thickness of the lining remaining on the pads in the caliper. On the metal part of the pad, there is a kind of resin that wears away as you brake, and you need to see if it needs replacing. It’s also important to look at the feel of the brakes.
Tip no. 3Inspect the transmission
Normally the transmission does not move during the winter, but the chain may be a little rusty, so it will need to be oiled before the season. Be careful not to get any oil on the brake pads at this stage, as this could damage them. I recommend using an oilcan rather than a spray, as it’s more precise. It’s also advisable to check the lubrication of the bearings, but these are fairly specific operations that require a good deal of technical knowledge.

Tip no. 4Check voltagerays
This is a check I recommend you make before each ride. If the spokes are too tight, they risk shattering on landing a jump, and if they’re not tight enough, the wheel will warp. To check spoke tension, rotate the wheel and tighten the spokes 2 at a time.
