Service instructions
The BMC Roadmachine is a high-tech, performance oriented product. We ask you to take care of
your bike if you want it to deliver its maximum performance over the years.
If you notice parts that are worn out or damaged, do not hesitate to replace the part and or contact
your BMC dealer.
Washing your bike
We recommend to keep the down tube cover and the rear light installed for washing. It will help to
keep most of the water away and not enter inside the frame.
The storage pouch is not designed waterproof and we recommend you to take it off before washing
and take the opportunity to clean it and dry it before placing it back into your frame.
You should never use a high pressure washing device to clean your Roadmachine.
Even with a lot of attention to detail, we cannot build a functional bike resistant to high pressure
water.
We recommend using a brush and soft bike soap, and rinse with water at low pressure.
Avoid degreaser and brake cleaners directly on the frame, fork and handlebar area. Composite car-
bon and painted components could be permanently damaged and made fragile.
After washing
If there is water trapped in your frame, it should drain automatically from below the bottom bracket.
If the steering does not rotate freely, check the installation of the headset and stem. If the issue is
not solved, it may be that your headset bearings need to be replaced.
If your seatpost makes an unusual noise after washing or riding in wet weather, you need to take
the seatpost apart, clean the frame seat tube and the seatpost, and reapply carbon friction paste
between frame and seatpost.
