- After riding in the rain, remove damp mud using a little water and a soft sponge, particularly from the tyres, frame and fork; avoid using a high-pressure jet.  
- Clean and dry the chain and drivetrain; only oil a clean chain sparingly if necessary; keep oil strictly away from brake discs and pads.  
- A thorough wash can wait; do not delay if the brakes are weak, the chain is skipping, there is tyre damage or you hear unusual noises.

Getting rid of the grime on your gravel bike: what needs to be cleaned straight away, and what can wait?

- EMEC is developing an AI-powered mobile test bench designed to detect tampering with pedelec drives from summer 2027 onwards.  
- To date, there have been no practical tests, hit rates or publicly available measurement results; its reliability under real-world conditions remains to be seen.  
- The key issue is whether the motor continues to provide assistance above 25 km/h; a change to this limit could have implications for legal classification, obligations and penalties.

- MicroAdjust moves the SRAM AXS rear derailleur sideways in 0.2–0.25 mm increments to correct chain rattling and imprecise gear changes.  
- Activation: Hold down the AXS button on the shifter, then press the shifter; pressing the left shifter moves the derailleur inwards (larger sprockets), whilst pressing the right shifter moves it outwards (smaller sprockets).  
- MicroAdjust only corrects the position of the rear derailleur; if the chain jumps, several gears are out of sync or the rear derailleur is damaged, other causes are likely.

- Ultrasonic cleaners such as the Dynamic Super Sonic Pro clean drive components thoroughly, which is also important for hot-wax chains.  
- The unit offers pulse and sweep modes, up to 80 °C, 40 kHz, a 1.3-litre tank and a cleaning cycle of up to 30 minutes.  
- Primarily worthwhile for keen mechanics with several bikes or hot-wax systems; advantages: less wear and tear, high level of cleanliness.
