HUB BEARING ADJUSTMENT
When checked, the hub bearings of either wheel will require adjustment if
there is any more than slight side play.
1. Check to make sure neither locknut is loose.
2. To adjust, remove wheel from bicycle and loosen the locknut on one side
of the hub while holding the bearing cone on the same side with bicycle cone
wrench or flat, thin open end wrench.
3. Rotate the adjusting cone as needed to eliminate free play.
4. Re-tighten the locknut while holding the adjusting cone in position.
5. Re-check that the wheel can turn freely without excessive side play.
HEADSET
INSPECTION
The headset bearing adjustment should be checked every month. This is import-
ant as it is the headset which locks the fork into the frame, and if loose, can cause
damage or result in an accident. While standing over the frame top tube with both
feet on the ground, apply the front brake firmly and rock the bicycle back and forth;
if you detect any looseness in the headset, it will need adjustment. Check that the
headset is not over tight by slowly rotating the fork to the right and left. If the fork
tends to stick or bind at any point, the bearings are too tight.
Note:
If your bike is equipped with a threadless headset, please see a qualified
specialist for repairs and adjustments.
ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the headset top locknut or remove it completely along with the reflector
bracket, if fitted. Turn the adjusting cup clockwise until finger tight. Replace the
lock washer or reflector bracket and tighten the lock nut using a suitable wrench.
Note:
Do not over tighten or bearing damage will occur.
WARNING! Always make sure that the headset is properly adjusted and that
the headset locknut is fullytightened before riding.
WARNING! Over tightening the stem bolt or headset assembly may cause
damage to the bicycle and/or injury to the rider.
