Check rear wheel alignment and correct
as necessary using a 19mm spanner to
loosen the rear wheel nuts (make sure
your rear wheel nuts are tight prior to
riding your Rocker BMX). At the same
time ensure you have the correct chain
tension. The rocker uses a free wheel
and thus the chain should NOT be as
tight as it would be on a normal BMX with
a ‘driver’ as this will significantly slow
down your rear wheels free spin. Please
see following photo, chain should be
slightly loose but not flapping.
Once you are happy that everything is
aligned correctly and the chain tension
is correct, check that the back wheel
spins freely and adjust the cone nuts as
necessary. Again remember to check
these periodically, especially after the first
few hours riding. Dial out any loose play,
or over tightness and allow the wheels to
spin freely.
If you need to repair a puncture at any
stage, please note that you will need to
split the rims to get the tyre off. You
cannot use tyre levers to get the tyre off
and if you do try to do so you will bend
the steel rims.
Undo the 4 rim/hub bolts and your will
see that the rim comes into two pieces
away from the separate hub. You can
now replace/repair the inner tube
(available from www.rockerbmx.com).
Finally you are ready to test ride your
Rocker BMX, before you do so, make
sure your tyres are pumped up nice and
hard. Max tyre pressure is 45 PSI. It is
VERY important you DO NOT exceed this
pressure.
