MEGAWATT CARBON BIKE MANUAL | 4 4
SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Nukeproof bikes and components are designed to be hardwearing and corrosion resistant, but to ensure the bike looks and
runs its best some general maintenance will be required. This will ensure the bike looks great for longer, prolong the lifespan
of components, and ensure your safety. Please consult with your retailer if you have any questions.
NOTE: Service Mode – A short press of the On/Off button on the top tube Bridge Display will activate Service Mode. Service
Mode deactivates the motor assist but keeps the system on. This is essential for when the bike is in a workstand, or any
maintenance is taking place. The cranks can be manually turned, and the gears shifted. Service Mode is also recommended
when the bike is being used without motor assistance.
BEFORE YOU RIDE
Please inspect your bike before each ride to ensure your bike is in full working order. If there are any issues you cannot
resolve yourself, please consult with a local reputable mechanic and escalate to an authorised Nukeproof dealer if needed.
Any small concern with your bike could develop into a further issue and ruin your ride or become a safety concern. If you
have any doubts, please seek advice from your dealer.
FRAME AND FORK
Please do a visual check of your frame and forks. Any cracks or sharp dents, please contact your dealer immediately for
inspection and do not ride your bike. Any unusual noises or creaks, please have your bike inspected by a reputable mechanic
and escalate to your dealer if needed. Check all pivot points and bearings for signs of play, any play please check the
pivot bolts for the correct torque, this is detailed in this document. If all torques are correct and play is still present, your
frame bearings may have perished. This document details the bearings required for the frame and please use a reputable
mechanic or authorised dealer to replace.
DRIVETRAIN AND BRAKES
Please ensure your drivetrain is cleaned and lubricated often to avoid premature wear. Unusual noises from your drivetrain
could suggest your derailleur needs adjusted, parts have worn out, or become loose or damaged. Your Megawatt Carbon
uses wireless AXS shifting and therefore will not have gear cables to maintain. The brakes should be inspected often for
pad and rotor wear and changed when required. Ensure the brakes are operating correctly before use and ensure there is
no play in the calipers and rotors. If play is found, please torque fitting bolts to manufacturers respective guidelines. Brakes
will need bled occasionally, how often is dependent on conditions, riding style and terrain.
