Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SRAM X0 Eagle AXS Transmission Groupset.
6.1. Cleaning
- Regularly clean your chain, cassette, and chainring with a suitable degreaser and brush.
- Wipe down the derailleur and controller with a damp cloth. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electronic components.
6.2. Lubrication
- Lubricate your chain regularly with a high-quality bicycle chain lubricant, especially after riding in wet or dusty conditions.
6.3. Battery Care
