Bottom Bracket
Each year, replace the grease in the
bottom bracket bearings. To service
bearings, special tools and training are
necessary, so only your dealer should do
this.
Chain
Each month, apply lubricant to the
chain. Always place a rag behind the
chain to prevent lubricant on other parts
of the bicycle. After you apply lubricant,
wipe off the excess with a rag.
Pedals
Each year, replace the grease in the
pedal bearings. To service bearings,
special tools and training are necessary,
so only your dealer should do this.
Each year replace the grease on the
pedal axles where they thread into the
crank arms. There are right and left
pedals, usually identified with a letter
on the end of the pedal axle or on the
wrench flats.
1. Remove the pedal-axles from the
crankarms; turn the right pedal-axle
counterclockwise, but turn the left
pedal-axle clockwise.
2. Apply a thin layer of grease on the
threads.
3. Install the pedals on the correct
side; put the right pedal on the right
crankarm and the left pedal on the
left crankarm.
4. Tighten the pedal-axles.
Derailleurs
Each month, apply lubricant to all pivot
points on the front and rear derailleurs,
together with the derailleur pulleys on the
rear derailleur.
Headset
Each year, replace the grease in the
headset bearings. To service bearings,
special tools and training are necessary,
so only your dealer should do this.
Brakes and Brake-levers
Each three months apply lubricant to
the brake-lever pivots and brake arm
fixing pivots.
Wheels
Each year, replace the grease in the
wheel bearings. To service bearings,
special tools and training are necessary,
so only your dealer should do this.
Each year, apply lubricant to wheel
quick-releases. Apply two or three drops
of synthetic lubricant or a light oil where
the quick-release lever turns in the quick-
release body.
