III. Regular checks
Check the tightness of the bolts: lever, crank arm, pedals, stem. The
tightening torques to be applied are as follows:
The other tightening torques depend on the size of the nuts: M4: 2.5 to
4.0 Nm, M5: 4.0 to 6.0 Nm, M6: 6.0 to 7.5 Nm. Tighten the screws
evenly to the required torque.
Regularly check the tyres and in particular the tread of the rear tyre:
namely the absence of wear, cuts, cracks and pinching. Replace the
tyre if necessary. Check the wheel rims for excessive wear, warping,
denting, cracks…
IV. Servicing
For safety reasons and to keep the components in good working order,
you should have your bicycle regularly serviced by your retailer. Your
bicycle should also undergo regular maintenance by a qualified
technician.
