Come? Remove them, clean them using thin-grain abrasive paper (avoid too much energy and use a circular movement) and remount them. Guaranteed success!
• GOMME: if the bike has been stopped for a long time (both in the case of models with traditional room that tubeless), the tyre pressure must be restored with the pump. For MTBs that mount tubeless wheels it must be checked that the latex inside it is still good. If not, it must be removed and replaced. If instead the bike has been exposed to weather or direct sunlight for a long time, probably the wheels Yeah, yeah. Impaired and the need for replacement.

• SUSPENSIONS: most of the mountain bike, trekking bikes and the city bikes montano una fork cushioned front. MTBs also have a central shock absorber whose pressure must be controlled with a high pressure pump. 
• CENTRAL MOVE: if not used for a long time (i.e. stopped for more than two months), the bike will definitely have acentral movement• that blocks movements during pedaling. To restore it perfectly, simply lubricate using an ad hoc spray.
