To adjust the rear shock on a mountain bike, first determine the recommended sag based on your weight and riding style. Then, set the sag correctly by adjusting the air pressure in the shock with a shock pump. Next, adjust the rebound damping to control how quickly the shock returns to its original position after compression. Finally, adjust the compression damping to control how much resistance the shock offers during compression. Fine-tune these settings by testing the shock on different types of terrain until you find the perfect set up for your riding style.

To align mountain bike wheels, first, check if the wheels are true meaning that the rim rotates without any wobbles or hops when in motion. If the wheels are not true, use a spoke wrench to tighten or loosen the spokes to adjust the tension and straighten the wheels. Once both wheels are true, check if they are centered in the frame by measuring the distance between the rim and the frame on both sides. Adjust the axle position if needed to center the wheels in the frame. Finally, check the brakes and adjust them if necessary, ensuring that the pads contact the rims properly and evenly.

To clean mountain bike forks, first remove the wheel and brake system. Then use a clean cloth to wipe down the outer part of the fork. Next, use a small brush to gently clean in between the fork’s sliders.
