Congratulations on your new bike. We hope you get many years of riding on this bike. Your Zinn, Clydesdale, or Tui bike has been assembled with care by one of our seasoned professional bike mechanics and checked off by our team. We ensure all components are installed properly, shifting is tuned, brakes are bedded in, and brake calipers are centered and adjusted. We warranty the assembly of your bike for 3-months from the date of delivery. If you find any issues with the assembly of the bike, please submit a service request form here and we will determine if the issue is due to a mistake in assembly or due to normal riding. If you live on the Colorado Front Range or are in the area, you can bring your bike to our shop for service any time. Be aware that bikes encounter a great deal of vibration during shipping which can cause cables, bolts, and threaded components to loosen. It's important to check the tightness of everything on the bike before the first ride, and it's normal for shifting to need minor adjustments when the bike arrives.

Wondering how to patch a tubeless tire? If you flat a tubeless tire while on a ride, you have three options for dealing with it so that you can keep riding: 1) Install an inner tube; 2) Inject pressurized sealant into it; and 3) Plug it.

When I built myself an e-bike and started riding it, I was coming off of 35 years of racing bikes and cross-country skis. At age 55, I was still winning lots of bike races until I suddenly developed a heart arrhythmia. I struggled for a few years with finding satisfying outdoor activities that didn’t set off my heart arrhythmia, and my cycling range had become shortened to a very small radius around my house, ridden solo at a slow pace. It was repetitive and uninteresting for someone used to using the bike to have fun and get to far-flung beautiful places while feeling my body get stronger. Fortunately, I soon discovered e-bikes and the many health benefits they offer.

When a long time customer and professional photographer residing in Aspen, Jim Paussa, came to us with a unique request to build a 29+ custom bike with drop handlebars for bike packing, we jumped at the opportunity. This was not a commonly built style of bike, in fact, I don't think I've ever seen one before. We at Zinn Cycles always love this type of project.
