Maintenance and Inspection
i. Squeeze the spokes together to check the spoke tension. Spokes should flex slightly and return to their
original position.
See your local bike shop for wheel truing and spoke replacements if necessary. Tighten any loose spokes with a
spoke wrench.
b. Check forks for damage and air pressure (if applicable).
i. The fork legs should move freely. Check the seals where the stanchions enter the lower legs of the forks.
These seals can wear over time, and if not kept clean can damage the fork stanchions as well.
c. Check cassette and chainring for wear/damage.
i. Ensure the chain flows freely around the front chainring and each gear in the rear. Inspect the teeth in the
front chainring as well as each individual cog in the rear. It is typical for grease and dirt to build up along the
sides of the chainring, cassette cogs, and pully wheels on the rear derailleur.
ii. Use a bicycle degreaser or chain cleaner and a brush to clean and degrease the chain and drivetrain
components. Re-Lube with bicycle specific chain lube, and wipe off excess.
