8.1 Use and maintenance of the gear hub
The hub should be lubricated at least once a year or approximately every 2000 km.
Contact a Raleigh Stride dealer / bicycle repairer for this maintenance.
Regularly check all gear hub components for wear or damage.
The internal gear hub is not completely waterproof. Do not use the hub where water
can get in. Also, do not use high pressure water to clean the hub. Otherwise, the
internal mechanism may rust.
Visually inspect the shifting cable and inspect the cable sheathing and wires for
damage and / or cracks.
Have the sprocket and / or the chain wheel replaced by a Raleigh dealer / bicycle
repairer if you notice that individual teeth are extremely sharp (so-called shark teeth)
(1) or (2).
●
Contact a Raleigh dealer / bicycle mechanic if parts show signs of damage or wear,
if you notice unusual noises when shifting gears or if you are unable to shift properly
through all gears.
●
Maintain the chain drive with suitable maintenance products to prevent wear and
tear from weather and environmental influences. Contact a Raleigh Stride dealer /
bicycle repairer to obtain information about this. When lubricating your derailleur and
chain, be careful not to accidentally lubricate the brake discs.
