DERAILLEUR LUBRICATION:
All the pivoting points of the derailleur
should be lubricated with light oil at least
every month. Be sure to wipe off any
excess oil to prevent attraction of dirt
into the mechanisms. The shifting cables
should be cleaned and re-coated with a
thin layer of grease every six months, or
whenever new cables are being installed.
FREEWHEEL INSPECTION:
Like the chain, the freewheel must be kept clean and well
lubricated using light oil in small quantities. If the chain
has become worn and needs replacing, then it is likely
that the freewheel will also have become worn and should
be carefully checked and also be replaced. Take the chain
off the freewheel and rotate it with your hand. If you hear
a grinding noise or the freewheel stops suddenly after
spinning it, it may need adjustment or replacement. Such
action is beyond the scope of this manual and you should
consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
