How to rectify a
problem with a cycle
whilst it is covered
under warranty:
In the first instance, refer back to
the retailer you purchased the
bike from. If you purchased your
bike from a shop which is not
local to you, or over the internet,
go to www.raleigh.co.uk to see
our dealer locator. Select the
Raleigh dealer of your choice and
contact them to request that they
undertake the work required.
What is covered under warranty is
specified in this booklet (page 51).
Should you have any further
queries relating to cycle
maintainence, sizing or assembly,
please refer to the FAQ section
on the raleigh website at
www.raleigh.co.uk
On the Raleigh website, you can
view our full range of cycles and
accessories, purchase goods online
and view details of Raleigh dealers
local to you.
If you require a copy of the
current catalogue, cycle assembly
instructions, or details of how to
select the correct sized cycle, please
e-mail [email protected],
stating your requirements. We will
endeavour to answer all queries
within 1 working day.
Bike Storage
WARNING: Wipe off all grease before use. Make sure that
rims and brake blocks are totally free from grease.
When your bicycle is not in regular use we suggest it is stored
upside down to protect the tyres, or hung from securely mounted
padded hooks. Care must be taken to ensure that the cycle is not
damaged, eg cables pinched or paintwork scratched. If the bicycle
is to be stored upright, protect the tyres by keeping them regularly
inflated.
If storing for some time, protect chrome parts by smearing them
lightly with grease. Keep grease off plastic parts.
Fitting Mudguards
Badly-fitted mudguards are a major safety hazard. It’s only too
easy for them to shake loose and get entangled with the wheel. If
the wheel then jams, you’ll come to a dead stop and be unable to
stay upright.
So make sure mudguards are properly fitted. Use spring washers
to prevent the frame mounting screws coming loose and tighten
the stay to mudguard fixing during the 21 point Safety Check. The
same applies to luggage racks.
As for luggage straps and bungees, don’t let them hang down
where they could jam in the wheel.

Frames and components of bicycles can be subject to high stress and extreme wear conditions.
Different materials - especially Aluminium and Carbon fibre react to stress in different ways and may fail suddenly.
If the design life of a component has been reached it may fail without warning. Any scratches, cracks or change of appearance in
highly stressed areas should be checked carefully and if in any doubt the components should be replaced. You should pay particular
attention to frames, forks, handlebars and stems, seatposts, aluminium cranks and wheel rims.
