15. BASIC MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Cleaning
• Your NuVinci N360 components are sealed and well protected from the external
environment. However, do not use water under pressure (such as pressure washers
or water jets) for cleaning to prevent malfunctions due to water penetration.
• During the winter season, you should clean your bicycle in shorter intervals so that
winter road salt cannot cause any damage.
• Do not use aggressive cleaners.
Lubrication
• The NuVinci N360 CVP is provided with permanent lubrication and the CVP
internals are maintenance-free for the life of the product.
• The NuVinci N360 internal freewheel mechanism is serviceable.
• Regular lubrication will extend the chain’s service life.
Basic Repair Work
• Only a qualified bike dealer should perform any necessary work on the NuVinci
N360 CVP and shifter.
• Unauthorized work on your NuVinci N360 system could endanger you and may void
your warranty.
• Please contact your qualified bike dealer regarding any questions or problem you
may have.
• Wear Parts Cleaning - Shift cables, cable housing, handlebar grips, sprockets, and
bike chains are wear parts. Please check these parts regularly and replace them as
necessary.
