LUBRICATION
Keep your tricycle regularly lubricated for good
performance and durability. Lubrication reduces friction
and helps protect against rust.
All bearings and other moving parts require regular
appropriate lubrication:
Grease type lubrication:- bearings in head stem,
wheels, bottom bracket and pedals (requires
disassembly refer to your tricycle retailer).
Oil type lubrication:- Brake and derailleur pivot
points and jockey wheels, chain, free wheel.
For advice on appropriate special lubricants, ask your
tricycle retailer.
