Buying a new bike is one of the most exciting things we can do as mountain bikers. There's no feeling that compares to bringing a bike home from your local bike shop or unboxing one. You'll probably want to get out and ride it as soon as possible, but be patient, there are a few things you'll need to do first. Neil Donoghue offers advice on how to set up and inspect your new bike before its maiden voyage.

That was Very Effestive. After the FIRST PROCESS was finished then I WASHED the FRAME with Water and Dried it to see where I was at. 3: I REPEATED the Above STEPS again and 99% of the Paint was Removed. 4: I then RUBBED the FRAME hard with A SCOTCHBRITE PAD with lots of WD-40 and that removed the last of the PAINT and completely SMOOTHED the ALUMINIUM ready for the POLISH. 5: USING a MICRO FIBRE CLOTH and AUTOSOL Polish I RUBBED the FRAME fairly hard and FAST. And in a FEW SECONDS you can see the FRAME becoming a MIRROR FINISH. 6: AFTER each Section I used a NEW CLOTH to remove the BLACK POLISH.. I was expecting it to take WEEKS. But it was Finisehed in one Day and it looks ABSOLUTELY UNREAL.

Might be cable tubes inside the frame, if so not a lot you can do really other than pay a bike shop to try to fix it (they'll know how and if it's possible). Bottom bracket could also need some attention, tightening up perhaps. Also check the recommended torque and use a torque wrench.

After using a spray nozzle hosepipe (never a pressure washer) to wash a bike, use PTFE spray to expel water from the chain and gears, then clean/dry with a microfibre cloth (it will get oily, don't worry about it). Add chain lube after that. These days I just try to avoid the muddy puddles, then most of the time all I need to do when I get home is wipe some mud splatters off the frame with a damp cloth, job done.

Pretty poor indictment of manufacturers and retailers. For pre-owned bikes, always give the bike a thorough checkover. That said, as a motorcyclist and a cyclist, I wouldn't throw my leg over two wheels without first checking everything.

Most bikes out of the box come without grease yes, I'd rather have that than a bike tech put way too much grease where it's not necessary, also buy a torque wrench and torque EVERYTHING down, don't trust the factory or bike shops, humans are humans ...
