Using the Diverge Elite E5 is a breeze. Just hop on and start pedaling! It's suitable for various terrains like roads, dirt, and gravel. Before each ride, make sure to check the tire pressure. For the best performance, keep the tire pressure around the recommended level on the tire sidewall. When shifting gears, use Shimano's GRX 400 group. It's designed to work smoothly on any terrain, so just move the shifter gently to change gears. After your ride, especially if you've been on dirt or gravel, clean the bike. Use a soft cloth and some mild soap to wipe down the frame, wheels, and components. This helps prevent dirt from building up and damaging the bike. Also, regularly lubricate the chain to keep it running smoothly. Store the bike in a dry place to avoid rust and other damage. If you notice any unusual noises or problems with the bike, take it to a professional bike mechanic for a check - up.
