Drivetrain
The drivetrain is a category of components made up of the chain, cranks,
cassette or freewheel and pedals. These components work together to
drive your Islabike forward. These are crucial in maintaining the optimum
performance and life of your Islabike. To keep these running smoothly we
advise the following.
1. Chain cleaning and lubricating - We recommend oiling
periodically or after excessive use. Your Islabike is supplied with a
fully enclosed no tools chain guard. Simply apply general purpose
maintenance oil to the port hole whilst simultaneously turning the
cranks backwards to ensure full chain coverage.
2. Chain tension - If you have to remove your rear wheel for
maintenance or puncture repair you will have to re-tension
 thechain.Todosore-tthechaintothesprocketsandpullthe
wheel rearwards. Once the chain is taught, alternately tighten the
wheel bolts to the required 8Nm whilst ensuring the wheel remains
central in the frame. There should be 6-12mm of chain movement.
Ensure the rear brake is re-connected and check it is
working before allowing your child to ride.
