Maintenance and adjustments to be done by owner
Below you can find the instructions for maintenance and adjustments that you can do
yourself on a regular basis, which will keep your bicycle in top
condition.
Cleaning
The frame of the bicycle can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For areas that are dirtier
you can use a mild detergent. The wheels can be cleaned with a damp brush with
plastic hairs (not a wire brush!) The grips and the seats (except the upholstery) can
be cleaned with mild soap and water.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner!
Cleaning the upholstery of the seats
The upholstery and the back rest of the seats are removable and can be cleaned.
You can wash them in the washing machine at 40°C maximum.
Inspection of the bicycle
After 200 kilometres or after a period of 2 months the bicycle should be inspected.
Check the brakes, the illumination and the spokes. Also check the tyre tread depth.
This should be at least 1 mm. Worn out tyres or possible faulty parts should be
replaced.
Also check the parking brake. With the parking brake pulled up, the bicycle should not
ride away with the cyclist.
Checking the rim
Due to the combined action of the brake and the rims, not only the brake lining but
also the condition of the rim is important. For this reason the rim should be checked at
regular intervals, for example when you inflate the tyres. The presence of fine cracks
in the spoke punches or deformation of the rim when there is higher air pressure,
indicate more serious wear and tear. In that case the rim should be replaced,
because it can lead to loss of brake function or even a crack in the rim, which can
lead to all kinds of dangerous consequences.
