Each member should wipe off their own sweat after each class with a soft towel (their towel) or cloth.
Check and retorque the screw holding the crank arm to the axle and the pedals. The torque for both is 35 ft-lbs
(47Nm)
Thoroughly inspect each cycle to make sure it is in safe and proper working order. Pay particular attention to loose
screws, nuts & bolts, crank arms, pedals, pedal cages, handlebar, saddle, T-Handle adjustments, worn pedal straps,
etc.
Clean with warm water and a soft cloth the parts of the cycle that are dirty or come in contact with sweat. Do not use
household or industrial cleaners, because many of them are designed to clean, glass, tile, porcelain, and greasy or
oily surfaces and can destroy the protective nish of the paint. If you need to use soap, use a mild dish washing soap
followed by an automotive treatment such as Meguiar’s Quick Detailer Mist and Wipe.
Check batteries. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE BIKES, WE SUGGEST ALL COMPUTER BATTERIES BE CHANGED AT
THE SAME TIME (2 AA batteries per bike). See “Computer Battery Replacement” section for instruction.
It is not necessary to wax the entire bike monthly, but it is very important to wax those areas that come in contact with
sweat, which are the most vulnerable to rust. Use an easily applied automotive treatment such as Meguiar’
s Quick
Detailer Mist and Wipe. Please note that failure to apply a coat of wax to high sweat areas at least once a month will
decrease paint and frame life due to corrosion and will void the warranty.
Remove, clean, and lubricate the threads on the T-Handle adjustments. Since both the threaded stud and the
threaded nut are stainless steel it is very important to keep the threads lubricated with a heavy grease, preferably
white or clear in color, such as Hydrotex MT-55 or Dow Corning 111.
