I’d say the title of this article should be somehting like “upgrade your new(to you) bike”. It doesn’t seem to talk much about maintainance per se.
Still, a great article! And the missing upgrade, high end cables and housing, and checking the routing to avoid sharp bends, best back for your buck shifting upgrade.
For upgrading brake pads, check out the Trickstuff Power pads. Can’t remember which German bike magazine did a test, but the significantly raised braking power over the stock SRAM Guide pads.
