Using your Marin Headlands 2 Gravel Bike is easy. Just hop on and start pedaling! It's great for both off - road adventures and flat - terrain rides. When riding on technical off - road trails, use the bike's modern geometry and the long top tube and short stem for better control. For flat ground, you'll enjoy a comfortable and fast ride. As for maintenance, regularly check your tires for wear and tear, especially if you're using the maximum 45mm tire size. Keep the internal cable routing clean to ensure smooth gear and brake operation. If you've added mounts for water bottles or racks, make sure they're securely attached. When storing the bike, keep it in a dry place to prevent the carbon fiber frame from damage. And remember, this bike can also be used as a winter commuter, so after riding in wet winter conditions, dry it thoroughly to avoid rust on metal parts.
