Servicing And Maintaining Your Tikit™ Bicycle; Bike Friday Service - Bike Friday tikit Manual

Bike Friday Service

New Bike Maintenance
Like all bikes, your Bike Friday tikit™ bike will go through a break-
in period. After the first few weeks of riding you may find that your
drive train doesn't shift as crisply as it did when new, or perhaps
the brakes are slightly loose. This happens as new cables stretch,
housing compresses and parts wear in.
After the initial break-in period, but before a significant tour, it is
important to have your Bike Friday bicycle professionally serviced
by your dealer or at your local favorite bike shop. A new bike tune
up takes very little time and the small cost for the work is minor
considering the improved performance and reliability it provides.
Then at least once a year and before any major tour, take your bike
back to your local shop for another tune-up to be sure that it runs
smoothly.
After a few years of use and a few thousand miles of riding, you
may notice that the decals on your bike are starting to look worn
and the paint has some scratches. Perhaps your bike doesn't ride as
smoothly as it used to, and the local bike shop can't get it to func-
tion as well as you would like. We offer factory service programs
including tune-ups, overhauls, and other repair work by our expert
mechanics. A month or two before your next big ride, you may wish
to send the bike back for a complete overhaul.
