PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
In general, Megamo bicycles do not require any greasing during the rst few
kilometres of use, but periodically, every 250 km, the following adjustments
should be checked:
• Adjustment of cranks, pedals, wheel axles, headset, wheel centring, tyre
pressure, hardware and general condition of other components.
• Lubrication and chain cleaning.
Do not use your Megamo bike if you have not previously adjusted and checked
its components. A defective Megamo bicycle can cause serious accidents. If
you are not completely sure or have any doubts, please consult your ofcial
Megamo dealer.
Uneven terrain, humidity and the force exerted by the rider on the Megamo bike
can reduce the grip of the tyres. When riding on wet terrain, increase caution
and ride more slowly than in dry conditions.
• Optimal saddle height: For comfortable pedalling, the saddle should be
adjusted from a seated position, with the heel on the pedal spindle and the
pedal in the bottom position. The leg should be fully extended, see gure (A).
During pedalling, the leg should be slightly bent, see gure (B).
