AILED MAINTENANCE

DETAILED MAINTENANCE

Chains require a special tool to fit and remove chain links, or

to change the length. To remove, fit the rivet tool so that the

punch pin is centered over any one of the chain rivets. Push

the rivet almost all the way out, then back out the punch

and remove the tool. Holding the chain on both sides of the

punched rivet, bend it slightly to release link from the rivet.

To install, feed chain around chainwheel, rear sprocket (and

through front and rear derailleurs on multi-speed bikes) with

protruding rivet facing away from the bicycle. Bring the two

ends together within the special tool and punch the rivet into

place. Be sure not to push rivet too far through side plate.

FREEWHEEL

Inspection

Like the chain, the freewheel must be kept clean and well

lubricated. If the chain has become worn and needs

replacing, then it is likely that the freewheel will also be

replaced. Take the chain off the freewheel and rotate it with

your hand. If you hear a grinding noise or the freewheel

stops suddenly after spinning it, it may need adjustment or

replacement. Such action is beyond the scope of this manual

and you should consult a specialist.
