Inspection of the Bearings
Maintenance
Frequently check the bearings of the model. Lubricate or have a bicycle service shop
lubricate the bearings once a year or any time the front wheel does not spin freely
and easily.
Wheel Bearings
Lift the front wheel off the ground and slowly spin the wheel by hand. The bearings
are correctly adjusted if:
• The wheel spins freely and easily.
• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side
with light force.
