How to repair or replace

Bike repairs

Even with regular maintenance, it's common for some components to wear over time. Most bike repairs are relatively easy, so it's useful to have a few key tools so you can get back to riding again quickly. Some tools are specific to bike parts (a chain whip/cassette removal tool) and others are more common (Allen keys). However, if you do not feel comfortable doing a repair yourself, you can take your bike to your local Decathlon workshop where our technicians will be happy to help.

How to use

Running in your brakes

When a bike leaves the store, the pads and discs are new and the brake performance is reduced. Continuous braking (in descent), can lead to overheating and "glazing" of the pads. That's why we recommend you break them in with a dozen brake applications (with a deceleration from 25 to 5km/h, without blocking the wheel, using only one brake at a time). If brake pads do become glazed (smooth and shiny) you can sand them lightly with fine sandpaper. Re-assemble your pads and give them a new run-in.

Connecting your smartphone

You can connect your smartphone to the E-EXPL 520 S via Bluetooth. This gives you access to:

- Better battery life management
- The route and all your output data (downloadable directly from Strava)
- Updates to your electrical components

To access all this and so much more, simply download the DECATHLON RIDE app.

Maintaining your bike

The maintenance of your bike is essential to extend the life of its components so you can enjoy your bike for longer. Apart from the importance of having a clean bike, you also need to ensure regular maintenance to avoid premature wear, rust, and seized wiring which can lead to accidents. After initial use, some components may move slightly. This is why we offer free adjustment of your MTB within 6 months of purchasing.
