Maintenance
Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Have a bicycle service shop lubricate the bearings once
a year or any time they do not pass the following tests:
Head Tube Bearings
The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off the ground, you should
not be able to move the fork up, down, or side-to-side in the head tube.
Crank Bearings
The crank should turn freely and smoothly at all times and the front sprockets should not be loose on
the crank. You should not be able to move the pedal end of the crank from side-to-side.
Wheel Bearings
Lift each end of the bicycle off the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by hand. The bearings are
correctly adjusted if:
- The wheel spins freely and easily
- The weight of the spoke reflector, when you put it toward the front or rear of the bicycle, causes
the wheel to spin back and forth several times
- There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side with light force.
Inspection of the Bearings
Suspension Fork
The fork should slide freely up and down through its travel. If it is sticking, lift up the rubber boot over
the fork legs and dab a small amount of grease on the each leg just above the plastic bushing.
There should not be excessive looseness in the fork leg bushings. Stand beside the bike and gently
apply the front brake. Rock the bike back and forth to check for excessive looseness in the fork
bushings. Take the bike immediately to a dealer for inspection if excessive looseness is apparent.
