MAINTENANCE
Periodically, you may need to adjust some components
on your Simbi for safety and best performance.
A.
Inspecting
Check the tightness of key components. Put a wrench
on every important bolt and tighten it slightly to see if
it has loosened:
Check the seat and seatpost bolts
Check the wheel bolts
Check the stem and handlebar bolts
Check the brake and shift lever bolts
Check spoke tension (look for loose spokes)
Tighten pedal screws
Tighten bolts that hold accessories (water
bottle holders)

Common Brake Adjustments
Over time it is common for cables to stretch. There are
two ways to adjust your brakes.
First way: Loosen the bolt shown in Figure 14 and
squeeze the brake pads in towards the rim. Then
tighten the bolt. Test the brakes by spinning the wheel
and applying the hand brake. The brakes shouldn’t be
rubbing on the rim and also should firmly stop the
wheel.
