Resumen del manual
Make sure any replacement fasteners are the correct size and type. • If your frame is aluminum, inspect the bicycle frame carefully and frequently. Aluminum frames can develop very small cracks due to stress, severe shocks, etc. If you see any small cracks, stop riding the bicycle. Have the frame inspected by a qualified professional at a bicycle service shop before riding the bicycle again. • Even though your frame may be aluminum, we recommend that you do not leave your bicycle outdoors for a long period of time. The elements will eventually corrode all non-aluminum components and hardware. Note: Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instructions” are not sufficient for you. Inspection of the Bearings Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Have a bicycle service shop lubricate the bearings once a year or any time they do not pass the following tests: Head Tube Bearings The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off the ground, you should not be able to move the fork up, down or side-to-side in the head tube. Crank Bearings The crank should turn freely and smoothly at all times and the front sprockets should not be loose on the crank. You should not be able to move the pedal and of the crank from side-toside. 24 General Maintenance cont’d General Maintenance cont’d Inspection of the Bearings cont’d Wheel Bearings Lift each end of the bicycle off of the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by hand. The bearings are correctly adjusted if: • The wheel spins freely and easily. • The weight of the spoke reflector, when you put it toward the front or rear of the bicycle, causes the wheel to spin back and forth several times. • There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side with light force. Lubrication WARNING: Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur. • The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain otherwise injury to the rider or to others can occur. • Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest otherwise injury to the rider or to others can occur. • Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims, brake shoes, pedals and the tires. Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride the bicycle. • Using a light machine oil (20W) and the following guidelines, lubricate the bicycle: What When How Brake Levers Every 6 months Put one drop of oil on the pivot point of each brake lever. Caliper Brakes Every 6 months Put one drop of oil on the pivot point of each caliper brake. Brake Cables Every 6 months Put four drops of oil into both ends of each cable. Allow the oil to soak back along the cable wire. Pedals Every 6 months Put four drops of oil where each pedal axle goes into the pedal. Chain Every 6 months Put one drop of oil on each roller of the chain. Wipe all excess oil off of the chain. 25 Bicycle Maintenance Schedule Bicycle Maintenance Schedule Before every ride: •Check tire air pressure. •Check brakes and cables. •Be sure your crank set is tight. •Be sure quick release hubs are tight, but not too tight. After every ride: •Inspect tires for glass, gravel shards, and cuts on tread and sidewall. •Check wheels for true. •Clean the bike's mechanical parts as necessary. Once a week or every 200 miles: •Lubricate chain (with dry lube; or every other week or 400 miles with wet chain lube). •Once a month: • Completely clean the bike, including the drivetrain if necessary. • Inspect chain and freewheel. Measure the chain for wear, check for tight links and replace the chain if necessary. • Inspect and lubricate brake levers, derailleurs and all cables. • Inspect pedals and lubricate SPD style cleats. • Inspect and check for looseness in the: ¦ stem binder bolt ¦ handlebar binder bolt ¦ seatpost binder bolt (or quick release) ¦ seat fixing bolt ¦ crank bolts ¦ chainring bolts ¦ derailleur mounting bolts ¦ bottle cage bolts ¦ rack mounting bolts (use thread lock on these) ¦ brake and derailleur cable anchors ¦ brake and shifter lever mounting bolts ¦ brake mounting bolts (do not alter brake centering) • Inspect tires for wear; rotate or replace if needed. Every three months: • Wax bike. A clean, shiny bike always seems to go faster and farther. • Inspect frame and fork for paint cracks or bulges that may indicate frame or part damage; pay particular attention to all frame joints. • Visually inspect for bent components: seat rails, seat post, stem. handlebars, chainrings, crankarms, brake calipers and brake levers. Every six months: • Inspect and readjust bearings in headset, hubs, pedals and bottom bracket (if possible; some sealed cartridge bearings cannot be adjusted, only replaced) An...
