BEARINGS
There are several areas on your bicycle containing
bearings that must be adjusted and lubricated. Proper
maintenance of the bearings will ensure longer bear-
ing life and easier and safer cycling. Proper adjust-
ment of the bearings requires special tools and knowl-
edge, so you should have all bearings checked and
lubricated once a year by a qualified bicycle repair
specialist. Perform the following checks to find out if
the bearings on your bicycle need to be adjusted:
Head Bearing Check
Lift upward on the handlebar. There should not be any
play in the handlebar stem or the fork within the
frame. The handlebar must turn easily. If there is play
in the handlebar stem or the fork, have an adjustment
made by a qualified bicycle repair specialist.
Wheel Bearing Check
Check both the front and rear wheels in the same
manner. Hold the wheel off the ground to see if it
rotates freely and easily. Check for side play on the
rim of the wheel. There should be only a small amount
of side-to-side movement. If there is play in the rim of
the wheel, have an adjustment made by a qualified
bicycle repair specialist.
Crank Bearing Check
Hold a crank arm and try to move the crank from side
to side. You should feel only a small amount of side-
to-side movement. The crank should turn freely and
easily. If the crank is tight or has too much play, have
an adjustment made by a qualified bicycle repair
specialist.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Weekly
Wipe your bicycle with a damp cloth. Inspect the tires
for damage and check the tire pressure. Check the
pedals and tighten them, if necessary.
Monthly
Clean your bicycle with a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap, and then wipe your bicycle dry.
Check the gaiters on the top of the fork for damage. If
your bicycle has a full suspension frame, check the
tightness of the pivot.
Lubricate the chain, the rear cogs, and the front and
rear derailleurs with a bicycle-specific spray lubricant;
make sure that no lubricant gets on the caliper
brake pads.
If your bicycle has caliper brakes, lubri-
cate the cable pivot point on the brake lever.
Annually
Wipe your seat with a damp cloth and then wipe the
seat dry.
The following components should be serviced annual-
ly by a qualified bicycle repair specialist:
• Brakes and cables
• Wheel, head, and crank bearings
• Drivetrain components
