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.
