Check the joints and tighten them to the manufacturer&#8217;s torque using a torque wrench. The aim: no play, no nasty surprises. Then examine the frame for cracks, impacts or signs of fatigue &#8211; a reflex you should adopt regularly, not just before the MB.   <\/p><p>Turn the handlebars. You shouldn&#8217;t feel any hard spots or suspicious creaking. If the steering shows signs of weakness, it&#8217;s best to deal with it immediately. Finally, inspect the wheel axles: tight, no wobble.   <\/p><ul><li><strong>Braking: performance and safety<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>On the descents of the MB Race, you&#8217;ll be putting your brakes under extreme strain. They need to be in top condition. Remove the pads to inspect the lining, following the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations. Discs also have something to say: their minimum thickness is often engraved on them. If they&#8217;re too thin, don&#8217;t hesitate to change them.    <\/p><p>Check all fittings, joints and hoses for leaks. And make sure your brakes have been bled recently &#8211; a spongy brake means one less brake. Last but not least, to avoid friction that can impair performance, check that the discs are not warped and that the calipers are perfectly centered.  <\/p><p>Little tip from Lucas: tighten your brake levers (around your handlebars) just enough. They must be able to pivot slightly in the event of a fall, to avoid breakage. <\/p><ul><li><strong>Transmission: let everything through, without forcing it<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>A cracking or skipping transmission will raise your pulse &#8211; and not in a good way. If you&#8217;re riding electronically (AXS type), make sure you&#8217;ve got at least one spare battery in your pocket. And even two if you&#8217;re the cautious type.  <\/p><p>Inspect the condition of cables and sheaths, especially those on the telescopic seatpost. If they scratch or catch, it&#8217;s time to replace them. As for the chain, cassette, chainrings and derailleur rollers, use a wear tester (\u20ac10-15 in stores) to judge. A tired transmission means a temperamental bike.   <\/p><p>Remember also to check the derailleur hanger: bent or damaged, it will distort all settings.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Wheels and bottom bracket: no play tolerated<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Turn your crankset by hand: it should feel smooth, with no hard points or damaged bearings. The same goes for the wheels: spin them and look for any significant warping or jumping. All spokes should be tight, and rims watertight if you&#8217;re riding tubeless.  <\/p><p>Lucas draws your attention to a specific point: if you feel play in the hubs, it could be due to either loose end-caps or tired bearings. In both cases, you&#8217;ll need to rectify the situation. <\/p><ul><li><strong>Tires: the front line<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Inspect the condition of the tires carefully: no cuts, hernias or areas of excessive wear. Top up with preventive fluid to secure your tubeless mounting, and don&#8217;t forget the valve obturator: if it&#8217;s clogged, repairing a puncture will become a living hell. <\/p><ul><li><strong>Suspensions: time to be precise<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Examine your fork and shock absorber plungers. Chips or snags can damage the seals, allow impurities to enter, and ultimately cause breakage. The handlebar locking system (if you have one) must be functional: test the cable, sheath and control.  <\/p><p>Adjust the pressure (SAG), rebound and compression according to your weight, riding style, and terrain. Lucas advises <strong>not to upset things<\/strong> the day before: \u201cIn MB, we ride with what we know.\u201d <\/p><ul><li><strong>Cockpit: comfort and control<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>A misaligned hanger can create real parasitic sensations. To center, align it visually with the fork T, making sure that you have the same gap on each side. Also make sure that all the controls are naturally at hand: levers, joysticks, seat post control.  <\/p><p>The handles should not be neglected. Choose a comfortable model, adapted to your habits. And for the saddle, it is the same golden rule: <strong>do not change anything before the race<\/strong>.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92a9ba7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"92a9ba7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21344\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mb-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sparkTourGueret_AgenceKros_Remi_Fabregue-28-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1306dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1306dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Cr\u00e9dit photo : R\u00e9mi Fabregue<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-120186f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"120186f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b43f2d\" data-id=\"7b43f2d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31df3be elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"31df3be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The day before: detail, nothing but detail\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b19f57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b19f57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You\u2019ve done most of the work.

mode.
