TRANSPORT
Safe transport is critical for protecting the bicycle frame and its components from damage.
Bikes can be awkward to lift, and proper lifting techniques should be used when loading or
unloading your bike. Packing your bike should be done by a certified bike mechanic when
possible. The use of a hard bike case is recommended for the highest level of protection. If the
wheels are removed for transport, make sure the area where the hub and axle were in the fork
and rear triangle is sufficiently supported to avoid damage. If transported inside a vehicle, make
sure all parts of the bike that contact the vehicle are padded properly. When transporting on
the outside of the vehicle, make sure the bike is not exposed to hot exhaust or debris that can
impact the bike while moving.
CLEANING
The best way to wash your bike is with a soft brush and rag, using soapy water or a mild cleaner
such as Motorex Bike Clean or equivalent. Do not use harsh detergents or directly pressure
wash any of the bearings, hardware or seals.
