Maintenance
It is crucial to the longevity of your Transition frame that you
properly maintain and inspect it. We recommend that all
service be done by a qualied Transition Bikes dealer.
Before you begin any ride it is very important to inspect
your entire frame for any cracks, loose pivots or bolts, and
properly functioning bearings. In addition to inspecting your
frame, checking your entire bike to make sure it is working
properly must happen before every ride. This includes but is
not limited to checking tire pressure, ensuring the wheels are
secure to the frame and fork, all components and brake bolts
are tight and pedals are secure. Also, a quick check of your
brake pads and brakes to insure they are working properly
and ready to ride. If you are unsure of what you need to
check on your bike to make sure it is safe, please bring your
bike to a bicycle shop to have them inspect and maintain it
before you begin a ride.
Bearings
Take apart all the linkage and rocker arms to inspect the
bearings to see if they are rotating smoothly. If they do
not feel smooth or are seized up, you should replace the
affected bearings. Always replace bearings in pairs.
