Using this Ritchey Ascent frameset is easy. First, choose your preferred setup. If you're into trail riding, attach a mountain bike bar and 27.5' wheels. For long - distance rough road trips, go for drop bars and 29' wheels. When installing racks and fenders, make sure they fit securely into the provided mounts. Before each ride, check that all components are tightened properly, especially the brakes and the seat collar. To keep your frameset in good condition, clean it regularly, especially after rides in muddy or wet conditions. Use a mild soap and water to clean the steel frame and fork. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the finish. Store your bike in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice any issues like loose parts or abnormal noises during your ride, stop and check the bike immediately. Have it serviced by a professional if needed.
