MAINTENANCE
AND
INSPECTION
REGULAR MAINTENANCE:
Bi-Monthly
1. Keep all painted parts cleaned and waxed for a long-lasting luster.
2. Spray all chrome parts with recommended protective spray coating (LPS-1, WD-40, etc.).
When spraying with protective coatings, it is recommended that you let parts set overnight so
the coating will penetrate.
3. Lubricate the following:
a. Pivot points at top and bottom of seat
b. Axle shafts
c. Inside bearings of both pedals
d. Chain
– turn pedal crank forward and spray freely
4. When storing over prolonged periods, turn upside down to prevent flat spots from occurring on
the tires. If stored outside, cover to protect finish and moving parts.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE:
Every Six Months
These are services that should be performed by your local bicycle shop. A fee may be charged.
1. Check tires for wear, rim cuts, and valve core alignment (usually caused by improper air
pressure).
2. Check wheels for cracks and alignment.
3. Check brakes for proper operation.
4. Clean and repack all bearings and adjust all cones.
5. Check for worn bearings, cones, and cups.
