MEGAWATT CARBON BIKE MANUAL | 4 5
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check wheel axles before each ride to ensure they are not loose. If loose tighten to torque specification. Check wheels for
bearing wear and play, damage, loose spokes and trueness. Wheel bearings are a perishable part and will need changed
occasionally. Please consult with a mechanic or authorised Nukeproof dealer to replace bearings and ensure spoke tension.
If the rim is damaged/cracked, please refrain from riding your bike and consult with an authorised dealer for a replacement.
Tyres will need checked for damage and wear. Cuts in the tread and sidewalls can lead to a tyre failure. Ensure tyre pressure
is within range of the manufacturer specification found on the sidewall. Never pump the tyre above the recommended
pressure found on the sidewall, this can result in tyre failure, damage to bike, and injury.
HEADSET
If your headset has play, loosen the two steerer clamp
bolts with a 4mm hex key.
Tighten the steerer bolt with 5mm hex key until play
is removed. Retighten the two 4mm steerer bolts and
ensure the stem is straight. Any doubts in this process
please consult with an authorised Nukeproof Dealer
If there is play in the headset when the front brake is applied, this is a sign the bearings have perished or an adjustment is
required. To adjust the headset, loosen the two stem steerer bolts, tighten the top cap bolt, and then retighten the stem
steerer bolts again to manufacturer specification. This will pull the headset together and remove play. If the play continues,
please contact an authorised dealer for replacement bearings or an inspection. Please note if the headset is overtightened,
the steering may become stiff.
