I've been biking for a number of years, primarily single track XC or gravel riding. I do adventure racing, which is incredibly tough on the bikes, but am hoping to improve my bike life.

What are some of the important bike maintenance things that you all do?

It's for road/gravel bikes with drop bars. The curve is too tight for grips, so instead they use cork/foam tape to wrap the handlebars.
