Wheel
WARNING
Riding with an improperly secured wheel can cause the wheel to
wobble or disengage from the bike, and cause serious injury or death.
Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side
wobble. If a wheel wobbles side to side even slightly, or rubs against
or hits the brake pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have
the wheel trued.
Wheels must be true for rim brakes to work effectively. Wheel trueing
is a skill which requires special tools and experience. Do not attempt
to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge, experience and tools
needed to do the job correctly.
Riding with an improperly secured wheel can allow the wheel to
wobble or fall off the bike, which can cause serious injury or death.
Therefore, it is essential that you:
»
Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and
remove your wheels safely.
»
Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your
wheel in place.

With this system the chain is lifted on to
a sprocket when changing gear. The
chain must continue moving so that the
teeth of the sprocket can engage with
the chain links easily and smoothly.
For a successful gear change you must
therefore keep pedaling forwards, never
backwards! – but at the same time
pedaling lightly and without force.
You should clean the pinions at regular intervals with a
neutral cleaner. Cleaning with a neutral cleaner and then
lubricating can effectively extend the life span of the
pinions and chain.
