  • Page 42: Cleaning, Advanced Adjustments & Guarantee

    CLEANING, ADVANCED ADJUSTMENTS & GUARANTEE • When adjusting the frame between modes, please take care to make sure the plastic ‘Top Hat’ bushings are in place. On each side of the bike’s rear arm where the rear-arm bolts go, there should be 2 black ‘Top Hat’ bushings (a plastic top-hat shaped washer). One sits between the bolt and the rear arm and one between the rear arm and the seat tube.

  • Page 43: Brakes - Adjustment & Maintenance

    BRAKES - ADJUSTMENT & MAINTENANCE Your Black Mountain bike will have had its brakes set before leaving our factory, and the brakes will have been tested as part of our PDI (Pre–Delivery Inspection) process, but you and your child should always test the brakes for operation and reach/actuation before riding.

  • Page 44: Belt Drive - Tensioning & Maintenance

    BELT DRIVE - TENSIONING & MAINTENANCE Your drive belt system (i.e. belt, front sprocket and rear sprocket) does not require lubrication and must not be oiled or greased like a chain drive, so it’s very low maintenance, but here are some top tips to help you keep it running and in great shape. BELT TENSIONING The belt needs to be taut (so that it does not slip when pedalled hard), but not too taut so as to make the cranks stiff to rotate or cause belt noise.

  • Page 45: Belt Drive - Troubleshooting

    When the bottom of the seat tube is at its closest point to the rear sprocket, hook the belt over the front sprocket and then the rear sprocket, ensuring the belt is fully engaged with the teeth of both the front sprocket and rear sprocket. © Black Mountain Bikes...
  • Page 46 MAINTENANCE GENERAL ADVICE • Routinely check the bicycle, especially brakes, tyres, rims and all components. Please follow the maintenance schedule below. • Always check your frame bolts to make sure they are tight and that ‘Top Hat’ bushings are in place.
  • Page 47 Any form of crack, scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and should be replaced. © Black Mountain Bikes...
