Road bike maintenance tips
A big asset for many, it’s worth looking after your new road bike to ensure it performs well and is safe to ride at all times.
We recommend carrying out these periodic maintenance suggestions and basic checks prior to riding your bike. Detailed
maintenance suggestions tailored to your bike can be found in the owner’s manual/handbook supplied.
Please read your owner’s manual before riding your new bike. It’s full of useful tips and will guide you through
adjusting the brakes to your personal preference as well as advising you on how to avoid problems with your bike.
• Allen/hex keys
• Flat head and Philips screwdrivers
• Torque wrench
• Pump
• Lubricant, grease & degreaser
• Tools and lubricants are available to
purchase on our website
• Check your brake pads forwear.Wornoutbrakepadscanbecomecompletelyineectiveandthereforehighlydangerous.Rimbrakepadsshouldbereplacedwhenthegroove
pattern in the friction material has worn smooth. Disc brake pads should be replaced when there is less than 1mm of friction material remaining.
• Ensure your tyres are inated to the suggested pressure (pressure guide is on the
tyre sidewall) and that the tyre is not torn.
• Test your brakes. Do not ride your bike if both brake pads do not contact the rim or
disc adequately. Adjust your brakes as per the manual if required.
• Check that wheels are secure and there is no play. Tighten the quick release or thru-
axle if required.
The barrel adjuster is situated at the top
of the brake caliper, screw the adjuster to
tighten the cable.
To adjust the rear mech/derailleur, screw
the barrel adjuster on the end of the cable
housing.
• Fully clean, degrease and lubricate your drivetrain. This will lower pedalling noise and prevent
any premature wear. The drivetrain includes chain rings, cranks, cassette, derailleurs and chain.
• Tighten all bolts to the suggested torque levels as stated in the owner’s manual. Start from
the front of the bike and work your way to the rear. While doing this, check for play in the parts &
components, in particular the headset and bottom bracket.
• Inspect frame, wheels, brakes and tyres for signs of wear, especially cracks. It’s best to clean
your bike before doing this.
• Check for gear & brake cable stretch. Common signs include gears not shifting correctly and
brakes not being as sharp as they used to be. Use the barrel adjusters on the cable housing to
tighten the cables appropriately, if your bike has hydraulic brakes they may need bleeding. See
the owner’s manual for further brake & gear adjustment tips.

• Grease parts and components such as the seatpost, wheel bearings and bottom
bracket bearings. This will prevent creaks and help your bike to run smoother.
Please note: carbon bre parts, components and frames require carbon gel rather than
grease.
• Inspect drivetrain* for wear; a key sign of drivetrain wear is your chain slipping
while riding, especially under power. If the teeth on your chainrings and cassette
are worn, it’s best to replace these. We also advise using a chain wear tool to see if
the chain has stretched, if so, it’s best to change the chain for optimum pedalling
eciency.
* Includes cranks, chain, chainrings, cassette and derailleurs.
• Replace brake and gear cables if required. This is generally needed if cables have
frayed or do not move freely through the cable housing. If the housing is damaged
thismayalsoneedreplacing.Hydraulicdiscbrakesoftenonlyrequireableed,
inspectthebrakehosesandconnectionstoensurenouidisleaking,ifthisisthe
case, do not use your bike until the leaking part has been replaced.
• Replacebottombracketanddrivechainifexcessivelyworn.
• Replacebartapeifworn.
• We recommend cleaning your bike regularly, especially after wet or muddy rides
and during the winter months as salt-water and dirt build-up can cause premature
wear to parts and components. If using a hosepipe avoid aiming the water jet directly
at fork seals & bearings, as this can cause them to become misaligned and force dirt &
water into them - it’s best to point the hosepipe downwards.
• Never clean your bike using a pressure washer as the bearings can easily be
damaged.
