Drivetrain
The drivetrain is a category of components made up of the chain, cranks,
cassette and pedals. These components work together to drive your Islabike
forward and are crucial in maintaining the optimum performance and life of
your Islabike. To keep these running smoothly we advise the following.
Chain cleaning and lubricating – We recommend cleaning & lubricating
your chain weekly or after washing/rain. Simply use soapy water to wipe over
your chain and rear derailleur then dry with a cloth. Then gently apply any
general bicycle oil direct whilst simultaneously turning the cranks backwards
to ensure full chain coverage. Wipe off any surplus oil with a cloth.
Gears
Your Islabike has had its gears adjusted prior to delivery. These should be
checked periodically or after a fall to ensure they are operating correctly.
Quick check:
Ensure your rear derailleur hanger is not twisted or bent.
Place your Islabike in gear 1 or the biggest sprocket and look from
the rear. Look out to see if the rear derailleur is fouling the spokes
or looks twisted.
If the gears are not working correctly contact our technical support team
on +44 (0)800 008 6297 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
