Drivetrain
The drivetrain is a category of components made up of the chain, cranks,
cassette and pedals. These components work together to drive your Islabike
forward and are crucial in maintaining the optimum performance and life of
your Islabike. To keep these running smoothly we advise the following.
Chain cleaning and lubricating – We recommend cleaning & lubricating your
chain weekly or after washing/rain. Simply use soapy water to wipe over your
chain and rear derailleur then dry with a cloth. Then gently apply any general
bicycle oil directly whilst simultaneously turning the cranks backwards to
ensure full chain coverage. Wipe o any surplus oil with a cloth.
Gears
Your Islabike has had its gears adjusted prior to delivery. These should be
checked periodically or after a fall to ensure they are operating correctly.
Quick check:
Ensure your rear derailleur hanger is not twisted or bent. Place your
Islabike in gear 1 or the biggest sprocket and look from the rear. Look
out to see if the rear derailleur is fouling the spokes or looks twisted.
If the gears are not working correctly contact our technical support team
on +44 (0) 1584 708 383 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
Headset
Servicing – The eJoni headset uses sealed cartridge bearings, however,
this headset will still need regular maintenance. The headset bearings
should be removed, cleaned, checked for wear and reinstalled with fresh
grease. If needed, replacements can be purchased by contacting our
customer service team on …..
Preload – The headset bearings should be under light tension, this allows
them to freely rotate without binding or with there being any unwanted play
(back and forth movement) in the system. Play in the system can cause
premature wear to the bearings and may cause a catastrophic failure to
other components if left for a prolonged period of time.
