Bottom Bracket & Cranks
1.
Chainrings
– these are subject to wear; their service life depends on various
factors such as maintenance, type of use and distance travelled. Always
check for wear and tear.
2.
Cranks
– must be securely fastened as this could otherwise damage the
crank set. Cranks can come loose which is why you should regularly check
whether they are securely fastened by attempting to rock them to and from
the frame. If there is play in the cranks, have the bike checked and the cranks
fastened securely by a professional bike workshop.
Brakes
Pulling the left brake lever engages the rear brake and the right lever engages the front
brake.
Check the brakes:
•
Test the brakes by pulling the levers while standing over the bike. Push the
bike forwards, the front wheel should not move, and the bike should tip
forwards. Pull the bike backwards, the rear wheel should not move and the
bike tip backwards.
•
The gap between the brake block and the rim should be roughly 1 mm.
•
If required, you can readjust the rebound force via the spring adjustment
screws so that both brake arms move symmetrically.
