Maintenance and Cleaning

Do not perform maintenance or adjustment of the

bicycle or components without sufficient knowl-

edge or proper tools. Where necessary, take your

bicycle to a mechanic for repair or maintenance.

Bicycles are subject to wear and tear, as well as

high stress. Materials and various components

may be affected differently. If the lifetime of a

component is exceeded, it may suddenly fail.

Any crack, scratch or discoloration may indicate

that a component needs to be replaced. If you

see signs of wear and tear, address them imme-

diately.

Take your bicycle to a professional mechanic

for periodic maintenance. How frequently you

take your bicycle to a mechanic for maintenance

depends on how you use the bicycle, but we rec-

ommend you to do that at least twice per year.

When cleaning your bicycle, do not use a water

jet or other high-pressure water hose. Clean with

mild soap or detergent and rinse with water.

Rinse all parts well and avoid spraying water on

parts such as steering box, crank, seat post and

saddle rails. After cleaning, dry the bicycle with a

rag and lubricate contact points to guard against

Corrosion

Tip

One of the biggest causes of corrosion is

accumulation on bicycle components of salt

and sand from the beaches.

Salt is responsible for the acceleration of cor-

rosion and sand is abrasive (so it wears down me-

chanical parts). To avoid this, you need to clean

your bicycle every time you take it to the beach.
