Using your Crux Expert gravel bike is a breeze. First, make sure you adjust the seat and handlebars to a comfortable position. When you're out on the gravel, shift gears smoothly using the SRAM Rival eTap AXS groupset to adapt to different terrains. The hydraulic disc brakes give you great stopping power, so use them as needed. As for maintenance, keep your bike clean after each ride, especially if you've been on muddy or dirty trails. Wipe down the frame, wheels, and components with a damp cloth. Check the tire pressure regularly, aiming for the recommended level for the 700x38mm Pathfinder Pro tires. And every few months, it's a good idea to take your bike to a professional mechanic for a full check - up to ensure all parts are in top - notch condition.
