Important information
Maintenance
A bike needs good care, so take care of your bicycle and you will enjoy it for a longer time.
Take some time to periodically inspect the bicycle in more detail - pump up the tyres,
maintain your chain and check if everything is still fixed properly. This is important for
your safety
A brief inspection of the frame, fork and bars for any signs of damage should be done
prior to every ride. If you suspect it may be bent, cracked or broken, do not use it. Inspect
if the steer tube and front fork are straight, the front fork dropouts for cracks or damage.
Do not ride with a damaged fork - it may cause serious injury or death.
A good time to give your bike a thorough check for cracks or other defects is when you
are washing it since the problems will become easier to see. When inspecting your bicycle
make sure the lighting is good (eg. outdoors). Check the bike on its wheels, and then turn
it upside-down and check it again.
WARNING: As for all mechanical components, the bicycle is subject to wear and tear as
well as high stresses. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever! The reaction of various
materials and components to wear or stress fatigue may occuur. Having exceeded the
life expectancy of a component may result in its sudden failure, possibly causing injuries
to the rider. Any forms of breaks, cracks, scratches or changes of coloring in highly
stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and that it
should be replaced.
Cleaning and lubricating the chain
Your chain should be cleaned and lubricated periodically - approximately once every
50 rides, after every ride in wet conditions, and every time you wash your bike. Properly
clean the chain by dripping a suitable chain cleaner into a clean, spirit-free cotton cloth
and wipe the chain down. When doing so, slowly operate the crank in the direction of
drive. Repeat this process a few times with a clean area of the cloth until the chain is
clean. Then sparingly apply a lubricant suitable for bicycle chains to each chain link.
Only use lubricants expressly approved for use with bike chains. Greases for motor cycle
chains will gum up your bike chain and the drive chain components.
Do this and your bike will last you a long time!
