For your safety, only genuine Strider parts are recommended for this bike.
The Strider 14x uses Shrader valves. If, for any reason, you decide to use different kinds of valves during
an inner tube exchange, familiarize yourself with the correct way to handle those.
Rims are friction components that are exposed to large loads. Deformed, cracked, or broken wheels
must be replaced immediately.
The chain should be lubricated with light oil at least every month, or after use in wet, muddy, or dusty
conditions. Take care to wipe off excess oil, and not to get oil on tires or rim braking surfaces.
When correctly adjusted, the chain should have approximately 10mm of vertical movement when
checked in the center between the chainwheel and rear sprocket. Center the wheel in the frame and re-
tighten the axle nut after adjustment.
Chains require a special tool to fit and remove chain links or to change the length. We recommend that
you go to a local bicycle mechanic to replace or change the length of your chain.
The Strider 14x does not have multiple gears/speeds.
General Maintenance
Keep your bike clean and replace worn parts as needed.
WARNING: servicing your bike may require special tools and skills. If a repair or adjustment is not
specifically listed in the user manual, for your safety, have it repaired at a bike shop.
