Beinn Pro Series
Drivetrain
The drivetrain is a category of components made up of the chain, cranks,
cassette and pedals. These components work together to drive your
Islabike forward and are crucial in maintaining the optimum performance
and life of your Islabike. To keep these running smoothly we advise the
following.
Chain cleaning and lubricating – We recommend cleaning &
lubricating your chain weekly or after washing/rain. Simply use
soapy water to wipe over your chain and rear derailleur then
dry with a cloth. Then gently apply any general bicycle oil direct
whilst simultaneously turning the cranks backwards to ensure full
chain coverage. Wipe off any surplus with a cloth.
Gears
Your Islabike has had its gears adjusted prior to delivery. These should be
checked periodically or after a fall to ensure they are operating correctly.
Quick check
Ensure your rear derailleur hanger is not twisted or bent. Place
your Islabike in gear 1 or the biggest sprocket and look from the
rear. Look out to see if the rear derailleur is fowling the spokes or
looks twisted.
If the gears are not working correctly contact our technical support team
on [phone] or email [email protected].

Tyres and Tubes
Tyre wear - Regularly check tyres for general wear and tear. Overtime
your tyres will become more worn and can become more susceptible to
punctures.
Tyre pressure - Regularly check your Islabike tyre pressure as they slowly
go down over time. To check, simply push your thumb hard onto the tyre or
use a pressure gauge fitted to most quality bicycle track pumps. If you can
touch the rim this probably needs some more air.
You should not exceed the maximum tyre pressure printed on the
sidewall of the tyre. We recommend approx. 70% of the maximum
tyre pressure illustrated on your tyre. To inflate presta valves you
must first open the valve by unscrewing and tapping the valve end
to relieve it if stuck. Inflate to correct pressure and then carefully
re-tighten to close the valve.
Use our guide to inflate your tyres, http://www.islabikes.co.uk/info-hub/

Wheels
Rim trueness - Depending on the type of riding your child does your
Islabikes bikes wheels may become untrue or damaged when riding.
This means they will not spin straight and will wobble. If for any reason
they are untrue our wheels can be easily repaired, please contact our
technical support team on [phone]
or email [e-mail].
Hubs - Your hubs are fitted with sealed bearings. Although they are sealed
water and grit can enter your hubs and cause premature wear. To prolong
the life and keep them running smooth and efficient. We recommend
annual maintenance and re-greasing of hub bearings.

Disc brakes
Considered one of the most important safety features of your Islabike. It is
a good habit to check the brakes on a regular basis. This should be done
depending on the type, frequency or duration of riding. If your bike has not
been used for a period of time we recommend a quick check before riding.
Brake operation – Pull on one brake at a time and look at the brake pads.
Check to see if they are touching the discs evenly when applied. If the
pads are not contacting the discs correctly, they are uneven, rubbing or
feel spongy to apply please contact our technical support team on +44
(0)1584 856 881 or email [email protected].
Brake pad wear and replacement – Brake pads do not last forever.
Eventually they will need replacing. This will depend on the type, frequency
and duration of riding. Brake pads must be replaced if the total thickness
of the backing plate and pad friction material is less than 3mm.
Riding with backing plate and pad friction material less than 3mm
can result in reduced braking performance, crash, and/or death
Pads fitted as standard are organic compound. We recommend
replacing with the same compound to maintain performance
Brake fluid and replacement – The brakes fitted to your bike contain
DOT 4 hydraulic fluid. Your fluid will need replacing annually to maintain
performance. Always seek professional advice – specialist tools are
required for this maintenance.
Do not allow brake fluid to contact skin or eyes. If fluid comes into
contact with skin or eyes dilute with plenty of water and seek
medical advice.

Beinn Pro Series
Maintenance
Keeping your bike clean and maintained comes with many benefits.
Not only will your Islabike perform better but it will be safer, last longer
and look great. To do this we have listed some regular checks to help
you along the way. Of course, if you are unsure of anything we strongly
recommend you seek professional advice or contact our technical support
team on [phone] or email [email protected].
Firstly, moving parts on your cycle will need lubricating from time to
time. Weather conditions are generally the biggest factor that determine
frequency of maintenance and lubrication. However, it is also heavily
dependent on the frequency, type and duration of riding.
Component Lubricant Frequency
Chain Oil Weekly or after washing / rain
Rear derailleur Oil Weekly or after washing / rain
Gear cables Oil Weekly or after washing / rain
Wheel bearings n/a Sealed bearings
Pedals n/a Sealed bearings
Headset n/a Sealed bearings

Guarantee
Your Islabike comes with a 5-year guarantee on frame and forks and a 2-year
guarantee on parts. This covers faulty manufacturing, but not normal wear and
tear. This guarantee only applies to the original purchaser of the bike.
Your statutory rights are not affected by the guarantee.

original purchaser and are only valid within the UK.
Ex-display / Demo: 5-years frame and forks / 2-years parts
Second hand: 12-months frame and forks
As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to
wear and stress. Materials and components may react to wear
or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component
has been exceeded it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries
to the rider. Cracks, scratches or a change of colour could indicate
that the design life of the component has been reached and it
should be replaced. Extra care should be taken in inspection of
parts that are subjected to high levels of stress.
Our bikes have been vigorously tested and exceed the required
standards. However, the use of a bicycle in hazardous conditions
including changeable and uneven surfaces can put high,
unpredictable loads on the bicycle and its components. Lack
of rider skill and experience can further increase these loads leading
to the possibility of serious damage to the bicycle and/or injury to the
rider. If you choose to use your bicycle in these conditions please
carry out more frequent and thorough maintenance and checks,
including regularly inspecting the frame, fork, stem, cranks and
handlebars for signs of damage. Discontinue use immediately if
anything untoward is spotted and contact our technical support team
on [phone] or email [e-mail].

It is not possible to make a bike that is never going to be damaged
in an accident. If your child uses their bike beyond its limitations,
there is a high risk of failure which could result in serious injury
or death. Bikes that are used competitively should be subject to
more frequent and rigorous checks. Take particular care to check
the frame tube junctions and welds as well as all the components
for damage or excessive wear. If in any doubt, please contact our
technical support team on [phone] or email
[email protected]. Or take it to a qualified cycle

Step 5 of 5
Brake pad bed-in
It is important to bed-in your new brake pads to achieve optimal
performance, increase pad longevity and reduce the likelihood of brake
fade and noise.
To safely achieve optimal results, remain seated on the bike during the
entire bed-in procedure. Accelerate the bike to a moderate speed (12mph /
20kph), then firmly apply the brakes until you are at walking speed. Repeat
approximately twenty times.
Next, accelerate the bike to a faster speed (20mph/30kpm). Then very
firmly and suddenly apply the brakes until you are at a walking speed.
Repeat approximately ten times.
Important: do not lock up the wheels at any point during the bed-in
procedure. Allow the brakes to cool prior to any additional riding. If you
require further information about your brakes, contact our technical support
team on [phone] or email [e-mail].

Beinn Pro Series
Safety first
Before you head off please read our advice for safe cycling. If you are
the responsible adult, parent or guardian we recommend the following
precautions.
Ensure that a helmet is adjusted correctly in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure your child is wearing sturdy footwear and nothing can
become entangled in the pedal or drivetrain.
Ensure that your child familiarises themselves with their new
bicycle in a safe environment.
We pride ourselves on light action brakes. Check your child can
come to a stop safely using the brakes. Walk beside them
and assist them in pulling the brake on to allow them to feel
its responsiveness.
Your Islabike is set up so the rider’s right hand will operate the rear
brake where the destination country drive on the right (with the
exception of our balance bike).
Be aware braking performance and grip will be drastically reduced
in wet conditions.

Avoid riding by any busy streets or highways.
Always observe national legal requirements if riding on public
roads. If you are cycling in any other countries or in the EU, please
check national guidelines.
Tumbles are an inevitable part of riding a bike and sometimes the
bike can get damaged. It is very important that a bike is inspected if
an accident occurs. Here are some things to look out for:
Handlebar ends becoming exposed from repeated contact with the ground
or heavy fall. Never let a child ride a bike with an unplugged handlebar end.
