Using this Marin Larkspur 2 bike is easy. First, adjust the Tranz - X dropper post to a comfortable height according to your needs. Then, use the 11 - speed Shimano Deore drivetrain to shift gears for different terrains, whether it's a flat city road or a dirt track. When you need to stop, just gently squeeze the Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes. For mounting and dismounting, take advantage of the mixte step - thru design, especially if you have baskets or a baby seat on the bike. When it comes to maintenance, check the tire pressure regularly, especially the 2.35” Vee Tire Co tires. Make sure the chain is clean and lubricated, and the clutch - type rear derailleurs and narrow - wide front chainrings are in good condition. Keep the hydraulic disc brakes clean, and if you notice any issues with braking performance, it's best to have them checked by a professional.
