Wear And Maintenance; Cleaning And Care - IDEAL Bikes PRISMA-810 Original Instructions Manual

28.4 Wear and maintenance

If maintained and cared for regularly, the derailleur system components generally show
little sign of wear.
• Please note that the chain will wear more quickly if the angle at which it is running is too
steep (e.g. if the chain is running on the smallest chain ring and the smallest sprocket).
Avoid such combinations to prevent unnecessary chain wear.
• Check the derailleur system at regular intervals
˃ Chap. 28.3 "Checking the derailleur system" on page
• Contact your specialist dealer to have the derailleur system serviced if:
- unusual noises can be heard when shifting gears,
- problems occur when shifting gears,
- the chain comes off repeatedly.

28.5 Cleaning and care

• Keep all the derailleur system components free of dirt and clean the components regu-
larly to ensure the derailleur system continues to function correctly.
- Clean the operating elements with a damp cloth.
- Remove coarse soiling from the chain rings and sprockets as well as from the front
derailleur and rear derailleur using a damp cloth or a soft brush.
- After cleaning, lubricate the chain rings, sprockets, front derailleur and rear derailleur
with multi-purpose oil. Afterwards, wipe up any excess oil with a clean cloth.
