Maintenance

While your Mycle Cargo has been built
and tested in the UK by our trained Cytech
bike technicians, it's important that you make
the following routine checks before you first
ride the bike, then on an ongoing weekly
basis. We also recommend getting your bike
periodically checked by a professional.
Routine Checklist:
√ Check the tightness of the crank, wheel, stem, pedals,
hanger and seat clamp.
√ Check the brakes are correctly adjusted and working.
√ Check general levels of wear, particularly to brake pads,
transmission, cables and tyres.
√ Check that lights and all electrical
components are working.
√ Check that any children or luggage are not left unattended
on the bike.
√ Check that any aftermarket additions i.e child seats, are
fitted as per the manufacturers instructions.
Cleaning
Rinse your bike with fresh water after each use, particularly
if it has been exposed to sea air, in order to avoid corrosion.
Clean with a sponge and warm water, or using a non-
pressurised water jet.
Lubrication
Regular lubrication of moving parts is essential to avoid
corrosion. Pay particular attention to the ball bearings
located in the axis of the wheels, chain, derailleur and cables
of control. We recommend you use a specialist oil for the
chain and the derailleur, and grease for other components.
