Hello everyone, this is my first carbon road bike and first bike with electronic shifting. I bought the bike for 1555 USD from a retailer who went bankrupt and is getting rid of all their stock. This bike used to be a rent bike and was also used at test rides. It has some dents in the paint job, but other than that everything is looking fine. I installed the new firmware on all the AXS components. I put on MTB SPD pedals because it’s what I’m used to.
I also ordered a spare battery, new tires (GP5000), some ultralight tubes (tubolito) and some carbon paste for the seat tube.
Is there anything specific I should take into account with this bike? Any specific maintenance tips? Thanks!

clean the bike, lube the chain and ride it a lot!
Buy extra seat post wedges, yes plural, right now.
The frame around the seat post. They have a tenancy of crack from what I know.
These are such awesome bikes! Enjoy 🙂 I have the 2X version and it super fast.
