Inspection of the Bearings

Maintenance
Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Have a bicycle service shop lubri-
cate the bearings once a year or any time they do not pass the following tests:
Head Tube Bearings
The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off
the ground, you should not be able to move the fork up, down, or side-to-side
in the head tube.
Crank Bearings
The crank should turn freely and smoothly at all times and the front sprockets
should not be loose on the crank. You should not be able to move the pedal
end of the crank from side-to-side.
Wheel Bearings
Lift each end of the bicycle off the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by
hand. The bearings are correctly adjusted if:
• The wheel spins freely and easily.
• The weight of the spoke refl ector, when you put it toward the front or rear of
the bicycle, causes the wheel to spin back and forth several times.
• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the
side with light force.
Refl ectors
WARNING: For your own safety, do not ride the bicycle if the refl ectors
are incorrectly installed, damaged, or missing. Make sure the front and rear re-
fl ectors are vertical. Do not allow the visibility of the refl ectors to be blocked by
clothing or other articles. Dirty refl ectors do not work well. Clean the refl ectors,
as necessary, with soap and a damp cloth.
