BASIC MAINTENANCE
The following procedures will help you maintain your bicycle for
years of enjoyable riding.
• For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose
dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked
in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with
car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic
parts and rubber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped
over with a rust preventative fluid.
• Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain
or exposed to corrosive materials.
• Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle
to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently
and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an anti-rust
treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking
performance is not affected. After rain, dry your bicycle and
apply anti-rust treatment. If the hub and bottom bracket
bearings of your bicycle have been submerged in water, they
should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent
accelerated bearing deterioration.
• If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use
touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be
used as a preventative measure.
• Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten
components and make adjustments as required.
