Basic Bicycle
Maintenance Guide
Your bicycle is made to carry tough loads on
rough roads. It will last a long time if you take
care of it often. This guide is here to help you
look after your bicycle.
Avoid mud and water
Mud and water spoil your
bearings and cause corrosion.
Keep your bike dry whenever
possible. If you must wash your
bike, use a rag. Never place your
bike in water.
Chain maintenance
When the chain is making
noise, clean it with a dry
rag.
Slowly drip machine oil on
the chain while rotating
the cranks (never use
grease).
Rotate the cranks 50 times
so the oil works into the
chain.
Wipe all oil o the outside
of the chain.
