8.1.3
Basic cleaning and preservation
Clean the bicycle with a damp cloth. Mix a little
neutral soap with the cleaning water.
Then use wax or oil on the bicycle as a preservative
agent.
8.1.4
Chain
Clean and lubricate the
chain
and the
chain wheels
using the stipulated care products.
Crash caused by brake failure
After cleaning, servicing or repairing the bicycle, the
braking effect may be temporarily unusually weak.
This may result in a crash and injuries.
Never apply care products or oil to the brake
disks or brake pads, or the braking surfaces on
the
rims
.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a few
test brake applications.
Water may enter into the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. The lubricant inside is diluted, the
friction increases and, as a result, the bearings are
destroyed in the long term.
Never clean the bicycle with a steam jet.
Greased parts, e.g. the
seat post
, the
handlebars
or
the
stem
, may no longer be safely and reliably
clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to the clamping areas.
