I got quite a lot of bumpy roads around where I live. I have a giant tcr 1 atm. Would my bike get damaged in the long term, i do around 30 minutes ride on the bumpy road everyday.
Any help is appreciated.

Joseph Tsui said:Thanks. By bumpy I meant uneven, and some holes which are mostly dodgeable.
When should I have my wheels trued? How do I know if my wheels need truing?
Depending on what you mean by 'bumpy roads', it sounds as though you were sold (or, chose) the wrong bike for where you ride ...Joseph Tsui said:I got quite a lot of bumpy roads around where I live.

When I get a patch of new asphalt (which lasts 1/4 mile hah) on one of my routes I gain 4-5mph just because of the ease of pedaling and maintaining speed. Only problem with the rough roads for me have been flats. I had 9 flats on my old Michelin tires in the first 300 miles. Put on some Krylion Carbons and have only had one flat since. Wheels get out of true easily, but the wheels I have are pretty durable and have taken a few huge potholes with ease. I think the most damage from a bumpy road is to the bum and arms.
