Protect your bike’s nish
The nish or paint on your bicycle can be
damaged by chemicals (including some
sports drinks) or abrasive contact. Dirt
can scratch or remove paint (and even
frame material) especially where a cable
rubs or a strap is placed around a tube.
Use adhesive padding to prevent rubbing
in critical spots.
Avoid excessive heat
Do not exceed 140°F (60°C) temperature
exposure to your bicycle.
Keep it clean
Clean your bicycle with water or mild
detergent and a non-abrasive sponge if
your bicycle is very dirty. Never spray your
bicycle using high pressure, and never
spray directly onto bearing points or elec-
trical parts. Never use harsh chemicals
or alcohol wipes to clean your bike. See
Five easy xes every rider should know on
page 4-9 for more details on washing
your bicycle.
