Using your Domane AL 4 is a breeze. Just hop on, adjust the seat to your comfort, and start pedaling. For different types of rides, you can shift gears using the 10 - speed Shimano Tiagra drivetrain to make your ride easier or faster. When riding on gravel roads, the larger tires provide better stability. As for maintenance, keep your bike clean after each ride. Use a mild soap and water to wash the frame and components. Regularly check the tire pressure; it should be at an appropriate level for smooth riding. Also, lubricate the chain every few rides to keep it running smoothly. Be careful when riding on rough terrain to avoid damaging the frame or components. When not in use, store your bike in a dry place to prevent rusting.
