The main tip: A clean bike is a happy bike.

Learn the proper way to clean a bike (hint: the pressure washer at the car wash ain't it), and keep it clean especially after nasty muddy/dusty/wet off road rides.

Keep the chain cleaned and lubed (there are lots of good chain lubes, I won't get into the religious warfare there).

While you're cleaning, inspect the frame and components for cust, cracks, bends, scratches, bulges etc that shouldn't be there. Catch problems on the washing stand instead of on the trail.

Pay attention to your "consumables" mainly tires and chains - they wear fastest and take a lot of abuse, inspect them regularly.

See you on the trail
