Mongoose MULTI SPEED - MAINTENANCE

©2011
Correct roune maintenance of your new bike will ensure:
Smooth running - Longer lasng components - Safer riding - Lower running costs
Every me you ride your bicycle, its condion changes. The more you ride, the more frequently maintenance will be required. We
recommend you spend a lile me on regular maintenance tasks. The following schedules are a useful guide and by referring to Part 5
of this manual, you should be able to accomplish most tasks. If you require assistance, we recommend you see a bicycle specialist.
WARNING: Do not over lubricate. If lubricant gets on rims, res or brake shoes, it will reduce control and braking performance
and may require a longer stopping distance. Injury to the rider can occur. Avoid geng any excess lubricaon on these area
by wiping o excess lubricant, and keeping these areas clean and dry.
LUBRICATION
NOTE: The frequency of maintenance should increase with use in wet or dusty condions. Do not over lubricate - remove excess lubricant
to prevent dirt build up. Never use a degreaser to lubricate your chain (WD-40™).
