Brakes and Pads:

While rolling slowly, squeeze brake levers. Bike should stop

quickly and levers should be at least ¾" from hand grips.

Since brake cables stretch, it will be necessary to adjust

cables periodically. See your local dealer for this.

Make sure pads are aligned correctly on rims.

Replace worn or hardened pads.

Chain and Derailleur:

Look for wear on chain rings, chain, or links that don't

swivel easily.

If chain comes off chain ring, have your local dealer adjust

derailleur.

Bicycle Cleaning

It is important that you keep your bicycle clean –

especially the moving parts (chain, derailleur, gears,

etc) since grit and dirt can damage these and shorten

their useful life. If you are riding continually, it is best

to wash your bike monthly or if it is noticeably dirty.

To remove dirt, wash lightly with a hose. (Never use

a pressure washer or take to a car wash as water can

penetrate the bearings.)

Use warm soapy water and a SOFT brush to finish

cleaning. (Never wipe the dirt with a rag as the dirt

will scratch your bike's paint.)

Lightly rinse with hose.
