jockey wheels
Treat front and rear derailleur articulated
shafts and jockey wheels with Teflon spray.

Lubricate articulated joints and mechanical
parts which are accessible from outside with a
few drops of spray oil or precision mechanics
oil.
7.4.15 Pedal
1
Treat pedals with spray oil. In doing so, ensure
that no lubricant is applied to the pedal
surfaces.
2
Lubricate seals and mechanical parts sparingly
with a few drops of oil.
3
Remove any surplus lubricant with a clean
cloth.
4
Spray metal foot rests with silicone spray.
7.4.16 Caring for the chain
Place newspaper or paper towels underneath to
collect chain oil.
1
Lift rear wheel.
2
Turn the crank briskly in an anti-clockwise
direction.
3
Use slight finger pressure to the chain oil bottle
to apply a wafer-thin thread of oil to the chain
links. The faster the crank is turned, the thinner
the threads of oil will be.

4
Remove excessive chain oil with a cloth. If you
apply too much oil, it will make the chain all the
dirtier at a later point in time.
5
Leave chain oil to penetrate into the chain links
for a few hours or overnight.
Notice
Never treat shifters with degreaser or
penetrating oil spray.
