TOOLS REQUIRED
In order to assemble, adjust and repair your bicycle correctly, you will need to have some basic tools:
These tools are essential for carrying out the different stages of bicycle assembly. You will find them useful for making all the
adjustments described in this manual.
Advice:
When riding and trekking by bike, we recommend you have at least the following equipment:
• a chain breaker and a master link adapted to the bike's original chain.
• an inner tube compatible with your tyres and wheel rims.
• a tyre removal kit.
• a multifunctional tool featuring at least the tools listed above.
• a bicycle pump.

CLEANING
LUBRICATION
Your bicycle can very easily be cleaned with a sponge, a hose or soapy water. The gear system components can be cleaned with a
small brush.
BE CAREFUL with high pressure cleaning systems!
Most importantly, do not use a steam jet: grease may liquefy inside mechanical components, your bicycle will be immobilised
indefinitely, and ball bearings and the gear system will completely seize up. Also avoid overly powerful jets, which may damage the
paintwork on your frame : do not point the jet at any mechanical parts. To avoid corrosion of the components, dry any remaining
water and re-lubricate moving parts (derailers, chain, brake and derailer cables).
It is necessary to lubricate components to maximise your bicycle's performance and lifespan, and to avoid component corrosion.
Use vaseline-type oil for gear cables and gear system components. For the chain, it is better to use a special oil. Immediately after
washing: dry and oil gear system components (derailer, shifter), suspension parts, brake levers, caliper and brake mounts and
the chain. Check the chain and replace it if necessary (see the section entitled “maintenance checks "). For good waterproofing,
sufficiently grease the seat post, the quill stem and the headset. Cartridge-style bottom bracket shells do not need maintenance:
they are sufficiently watertight to keep them greased for the entire lifespan of the bracket. However, to avoid noises it may be
necessary to grease the points where the frame and the bracket meet.
Advice:
We recommend that you use OUR SELECTION: Degreasing kit and Teflon oil, grease.
Warning: All these operations should be undertaken regularly if you use your bicycle in a salty environment and before
prolonged storage.
