ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure:  

Smooth running – Longer lasting components – Safer riding – Lower running costs

Every time you ride your bicycle, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently maintenance will be required.  We 

recommend you spend a little time on regular maintenance tasks. The following schedules are a useful guide and by referring to Part 5 

of this manual, you should be able to accomplish most tasks.  If you require assistance, we recommend you see a bicycle specialist.
