3. CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
The chain must be kept clean, rust free and lubricated with light oil
after used in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions.Take care to wipe off
excess oil, and not to get oil on the tires or rim braking surfaces.
It also must be at the correct tightness. If too tight, the bicycle will
be difficult to pedal.If too loose, the chain can come off the
sprockets.
When the chain is at the correct tightness, you can rotate the crank
freely and you can pull it no more than 10mm away from a
straightedge as shown.
Adjust the tightness of the chain as follows:
●Loosen the axle nuts of the rear wheel.
●Move the rear wheel forward or backward as necessary.
NOTE: Make sure the rear wheel is in the center of the
bicycle frame.
●Hold the wheel in this position and tighten the axle nuts.
4. TIRE INSPECTION
Tires must be maintained properly to ensure road holding and
stability. Check the following areas:
Inflation:
Ensure tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall of
the tire. Improper inflation is the biggest cause of tire failure. Due to
the slightly porous nature of bicycle inner tubes, it is normal for your
tires to lose pressure over time. For this reason, it is critically
important to maintain the proper tire inflation on your bike.
Caution: Use a hand or foot pump to inflate tires. NEVER inflate tires
with an air compressor at a gas station. This can cause the tubes to
over inflate and blowout.
Bead Seating:Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of
the tire (the bead) is the same distance from the rim, all around the
rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be
seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push
