Keep your bike running like new
Technological advances continue to make bicycles more complex. It’s impossible for
this manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and maintain your
bicycle.
To help minimize the chances of an
accident and possible injury, it’s critical
that you have your bike shop perform any
repair or maintenance not specically
described in this manual.
The longer you neglect maintenance, the
more it becomes critical. Your bike shop
can help you decide your maintenance
requirements.
After initial use, new bicycles should be
checked. As an example, cables stretch
through use, and this can affect the
operation of shifting, steering, or braking.
Approximately two months after you
purchase your new bicycle, have your bike
shop fully check it. Have your bike shop
fully service your bicycle each year even if
you did not ride your bicycle much.
Before each ride, perform an inspection
as outlined in Before every ride on page
3-6.

Maintenance schedules are based on nor-
mal use. If you ride your bicycle more than
the time indicated, perform maintenance
more frequently than recommended. If a
part malfunctions, check and service it
immediately, or consult your bike shop.
If a part has wear or damage, replace it
before you ride your bicycle again.
