This is general information for daily, weekly and monthly maintenance to be performed on your bike.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
After each exercise session, wipe down all the
equipment: seat, frame, and handlebars. Pay
special attention to the seat post, handlebar
post, and belt/chain guard. Sweat is very
corrosive and may cause problems that require
parts replacement later.
1. Get on the bike and engage the drive train.
2. Pay attention to any vibrations felt through
the pedals. If you feel any vibrations, you may
need to tighten the pedals, bottom bracket, or
adjust the drive chain/chain tension.
3. Use a wrench to tighten the pedals until they
are secure.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect
moving
hardware.
2. Inspect pull pin frame fittings to make sure
the fittings are secured. Loose frame fittings
may strip out threads over time and cause
extensive damage.
3. Clean and lubricate pop pin assemblies. Pull
on the pin and spray a small amount of
lubricant onto the shaft.
4. Tighten the seat hardware to make sure the
seat is level and centered.
5. Brush and treat the resistance pads. Remove
any foreign material that may have collected
on the pads. Spray the pads with silicone
lubricant. This helps to reduce noise from
friction between the pads and the flywheel.
6. Visually inspect the bottom bracket, toe clips
and toe straps. If any of them are loose or
disconnected, attach and tighten.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Check if all hardware is secure, such as:
water bottle holder, flywheel nuts, belt/chain
guard bolts, brake caliper lock nuts, and
brake caliper tension rod nuts.
2. Inspect the brake tension rod for signs of
wear such as missing threads. Clean and
lubricate the brake tension rod.
3. Clean and lubricate the seat post, handlebar
post and seat slider. Remove any buildup of
foreign material.
LEATHER BRAKE PAD CARE (If Applicable)
the
1. Perform this maintenance when the brake
pad is first installed and for the life of the
brake pad. Following these simple guidelines
can increase the life of your brake pads.
2. Some brake pad assemblies are pre-
lubricated. Squeeze the brake pad. If
lubricant is released, then the pad has been
pre-lubricated.
3. If the brake pad is dry, then coat the brake
pad with 3-n-1 oil. Brush the leather with a
clean, wire bristle brush, and then apply the
oil. The oil should be allowed to soak in to
the pad. Repeat 4-5 times until the pad is
saturated, but not dripping with oil. When the
pad is saturated, it will no longer absorb oil.
4. Inspect the brake pad weekly and lubricate if
needed. The pad should not have a glazed
appearance. If the pad appears glazed, then
brush it with wire brush and apply lubricant
as needed. If any of the sponge padding is
showing through the leather pad, the brake
pad should be replaced.
