BICYCLE MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Megamo will deliver your bike ready for use, but it is important that you have it
regularly serviced and maintained by your Megamo dealer to ensure the long-
term performance of all components.
It is recommended that the rst service should be carried out after about 250
kilometres, after 10 hours of use, after a period of four to six weeks or after a
maximum of three months. During the rst phase of use of the bike, it is normal
for the spokes to tighten and the derailleur to become out of adjustment, so
it is important not to postpone the rst service at a Megamo dealer. This will
ensure the proper functioning of the components and improve the service life
of your bike.
After the break-in period, it is important to have your Megamo bike regularly
serviced by your Megamo dealer. If the bike is used frequently on rough roads
or uneven terrain, the service intervals of the Megamo maintenance and in-
spection schedule should be shortened.
Winter is a good time to have your annual service done, as your Megamo dealer
usually has more time available to service your bike. Regular inspections and
replacement of wearing parts such as chain, brake pads, brake and derailleur
cables are part of what is understood to be correct use of the bike. Performing
these tasks ensures long-lasting and reliable operation of the components,
and affects product liability and warranty claims.
RECOMMENDED TIGHTENING TORQUES
Please note that due to the variety of construction materials, hardware and
components used in Megamo bicycles, it is important that any adjustments
or modications are carried out by a professional mechanic at an authorised
Megamo dealer. If you need to make any adjustments or modications to your
bicycle, please contact your dealer.
WARNING: Due to the wide variety of parts available on the market, we cannot
guarantee the compatibility, tightening torque, etc. of additional parts or spare
parts installed by third parties. It is the responsibility of the person carrying out
the assembly or modication of the Megamo bicycle to ensure that it is carried
out in accordance with current technological standards.
