Cleaning:
Your bicycle should be cleaned with warm soapy water (except the chain).
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth, afterwards oil the bicycle in the
appropriate areas.
On synthetic enamels use a good wax polish.
Handlebars:
Adjust for comfort and a proper fit.
Make sure that a minimum distance of
2.5” (65mm) is inserted into the headset.
Securely fasten the handlebar bolt and
nut/expander bolt. Replace any worn grips.
Lubrication:
To ensure that the bicycle remains in good working order, moving parts
should be regularly lubricated.
The front hub, rear hub and headset are lubricated prior to leaving the factory. Correct
further lubrication requires disassembly, cleaning and re-packing and should be done by a
qualified bicycle mechanic.
However, using a light oil or WD40 type lubricant, you may periodically oil the chain, rear
wheel sprocket, brake calliper pivots, front and rear wheel bushes, bottom bracket
bushes and headset bushes.
The calliper pivots can also be lightly oiled, but care must be taken to keep the lubricant
away from the brake blocks and wheel rims.
To avoid over lubricating, do not oil where lubricant is still evident from the previous
maintenance. Should you accidentally over lubricate, wipe clean any excess.
WARNING:
Surplus oil can run down spokes and damage tyres.
NOTE:
When storing your bicycle for prolonged periods, smear any chrome plating with
a light grease.
