If the bicycle has been exposed to water or sand, or at least every 150 kilometers,
clean the bicycle and lightly lubricate the chain rollers with a good quality bicycle
chain lubricant.
Then remove the excess lubricant by wiping with a lint-free cloth. Lubrication also
depends on the climate, we advise you to check with a qualified mechanic the most
suitable lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency for your region.
Check if the rims are too worn and if there are dents, bumps and scratches. If you
observe any damage to the rim, consult a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Check that all parts and accessories are still well fixed and tighten those that are
not.
Check for scratches, cracks or discolorations on the frame, especially in the area
around all the joints of the tube, on the handlebar, on the stem and on the seat post.
These are signs of stress fatigue and indicate that a piece is at the end of its useful
life and needs to be replaced.
Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its components are subject to wear and
stress. The different materials and mechanisms wear out or undergo stresses at
different speeds, and have different life cycles.
If the life cycle of a component is exceeded, the component can suddenly fail, cau-
sing serious or fatal injuries to the cyclist.
Scratches, cracks, wear and discoloration are signs of stress fatigue and indicate
that a component is at the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced.
While the materials and workmanship of your bicycle or individual components
may be covered by a warranty for a specific period of time by the manufacturer, this
does not guarantee that the product will last for the duration of the warranty.
The life of the product often depends on the type of riding of the cyclist and on the
treatment to which the bicycle is subjected. The bicycle warranty does not suggest
that the bicycle cannot break or that it will last forever. It only means that the bicycle
is covered under the warranty terms.
For your safety, use only original spare parts for all critical components of the bike.
