Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the shift lever tension screw until the thread is visible. Apply LPS 2
to the thread and to the top of the shift lever. Re-insert the screw, being careful not to over-tighten, as this
will prevent the shift lever from moving.
Lubricate Handle Stud Assembly
Tools required:
Hydrotex
MT-55 grease.
Unscrew the handle stud assembly and remove it from the threaded insert. Lightly apply MT-55 grease to
the threads of the threaded insert. Re-insert the handle stud assembly into the threaded insert.
Clean Flywheel
Tools required:
sanding sponge, LPS 2
and clean cloth.
Caution! Use extreme care when cleaning the flywheel. Position the sanding sponge in the
flywheel groove, keeping hands, fingers, clothing, etc. away from the bike frame to avoid getting
snagged or pinched. Failure to follow this instruction could result in serious injury.
Release the resistance to the flywheel by moving the shifter to the maximum clockwise position. Unhook
the friction belt. Place a rag below the flywheel to catch any excess lubricant and debris. Slowly spin the
flywheel while applying a light coat of LPS 2
to the entire flywheel groove. The LPS 2
loosens
corrosion on the flywheel and this needs to be removed with a clean cloth.
Hold the sanding sponge in the groove of the flywheel with one hand while slowly rotating the flywheel by
turning the pedal forward with the other hand. Use a clean dry cloth to remove the sanding sponge debris
on the flywheel. Once the flywheel is free from debris, reinstall the friction belt.
Clean Bike
Tools required:
Warm water, paste or spray wax and clean cloth.
Warning! Failure to apply a coat of wax at least once a month will decrease paint and frame life
due to corrosion and will void the warranty.
Clean the bike using warm water and a clean, soft cloth. Dry thoroughly. Apply wax to the seat (this will
help seal the surface), frame, seat post tube and handlebar tube in accordance with the wax
manufacturer’s instructions.
MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENTS
Note! The following adjustments should only be performed by a maintenance professional.
Chain Tension Adjustment
Tools required:
9/16-inch socket and torque wrench
Caution! Extreme care must be taken to not allow your fingers, hair, clothing, etc. to be drawn into
the chain and sprockets. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury,
including the loss of fingers.
