as components can become loose with use. The following adjustments should
be made after several hours of riding, and repeated two or three times after
further use. There after the cranks should remain secure.

2. Gently tap the crank arm with a mallet.
3. Re-tighten the flange nuts, and refit the dust caps.
Lubrication and Replacement - Cartridge Bottom Bracket
Freeplay cannot be removed from a cartridge bottom bracket. It is a sealed unit and is
designed to be replaced as an entire unit when it is worn out. Once the cranks have been
removed a specific extraction tool is required to remove the cartridge bottom bracket.
Consult your specialist bicycle dealer for further advice regarding this process.
Position the crank on the axle.
Screw in the removal tool.
Turn the screwbolt clockwise.
Tighten the flange nut.
Replace the dust cap.
Lightly tap the crank onto the axle.
