Chain

The chain should be kept lubricated with a chain lube that suits your particular climate/conditions

(Greenspeed recommends Prolink, www.progoldmfr.com); your local bike shop should know the

ideal lube for your particular requirements. If the chain ever becomes dry and squeaks, it is crying

out for lube, and will make the trike harder to push!

If the kingpins are fitted with grease nipples (Pic. 11), they should

be greased about once a year. At the same time you lubricate the

kingpins, turn your trike upside down and add a few drops of oil to

the handle bar pivot.

Front hubs, have sealed bearings that don't require lubrication. If

you have any problems with the hubs, please contact your dealer.

The steering ball joints are nylon and don't require lubrication.

Try experimenting with pressures, lower tyre pressure will give a more comfortable ride and

higher speed on rough roads, but higher tyre pressure will make it roll easier on smooth roads.

There is usually a good compromise at between 70-80psi. Check your tyre pressure before each

ride and you will find that your trike will be easier to push.

We recommend carrying at least the following tools when riding.

1. Full set of allen keys to suit your trike.

Definately a 6mm as it does nearly all the main bolts on a folding trike.

2. A Puncture kit / Spare tube.

3. A Pump

Q. Why don't my drum brakes work as well as they used to?

A. Your brake cables may need replacing. If not, try removing the wheel and checking the

condition of the brake shoes. If they are glazed give them a light sand to remove it. Also remove

any rust if present in drum.

Q. Why are my tyres wearing out so fast?

A. Your wheel track could be out (page 7) or your tyre pressure may be excessively low. High

corner speed and brake lockups also cause rapid tyre wear. We have found tourists wear their

tyres least, as commuters can be the opposite, depending on their route to work and their

confidence to push the limits of tyre adhesion.

Q. Where do I put the flag?

A. A small diameter tube is located at the top of the seat

tubes near the tail light mount inside the seat cover.

Q. Why can't I get first gear?

A. See page 6 Cable Adjustment section.
