Cleaning::::
In order to maintain perfect functioning it is very important to keep the bicycle clean. Dirt
and dust mainly damage the moving parts of the bicycle, particularly the chain, sprocket wheel, derailleur
and rims. If you cycle in muddy terrain, you must clean the bike after every ride.

Water can penetrate into the
bearings and the high pressure is capable of stripping away the lubricating oils and grease. It is always
best to clean your bike by hand. Never wipe your bike down without wetting it with water first, otherwise,
you will scrape the paint and the surfaces of components.

•
Do not apply excessive lubricant to the derailleurs. An excessive amount of lubricant causes dirt and
dust to adhere.
•
Avoid applying lubricant to the rims, brake shoes and brake discs.
•
It is a good idea to occasionally lubricate the rotating pins on the brake levers and arms.
•
It is best to leave lubrication of the traction elements (cables and Bowdens), the hubs, headset, bottom
bracket and pedals to an experienced mechanic. These components must be completely
disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, reassembled and adjusted.
