Cervélo Owner’s Manual

owner, and require no special tools or knowledge beyond what is

presented in this manual.

The following are examples of the type of service you should perform

yourself. All other service, maintenance and repair should be performed

in a properly equipped facility by a qualified bicycle mechanic using

the correct tools and procedures specified by the manufacturer.

1. Break-in Period: Your bike will last longer and work better if you

break it in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel spokes

may stretch or “seat” when a new bike is first used and may require

readjustment by your dealer. Your Mechanical Safety Check (Section

1.C) will help you identify some things that need readjustment. But

even if everything seems fine to you, it’s best to take your bike back

to the dealer for a checkup. Dealers typically suggest you bring the

bike in for a 30 day checkup. Another way to judge when it’s time

for the first checkup is to bring the bike in after three to five hours

of hard off-road use, or about 10 to 15 hours of on-road or more casual

off-road use. But if you think something is wrong with the bike, take

it to your dealer before riding it again.

2. Before every ride: Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C)

3. After every long or hard ride: if the bike has been exposed to water or

grit; or at least every 100 miles: Clean the bike thoroughly and lightly

oil the chain. Wipe off excess oil. Lubrication is a function of climate.

Talk to your dealer about the best lubricants and the recommended

lubrication frequency for your area.

4. After every long or hard ride or after every 10 to 20 hours of riding:

• Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike forward and back. Every-

thing feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or backward

movement of the bike, you probably have a loose headset. Have

your dealer check it.

• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side to side.

Feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering,

you may have a tight headset. Have your dealer check it.

• Inspect both rims for damage. Check the spoke-holes on the rim

for any cracks that may have formed due to fatigue. If cracks are

found do not ride it – take the wheel to your dealer for replacement.

Also inspect the brake surface for wear (relative to other surfaces). If a

noticeable amount of wear has occurred do not ride it – take the wheel

to your dealer for inspection and possible replacement. Ignoring these

signs of wheel wear or damage can lead to failures of the rim.

• Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away from the centerline

of the bike; then do the same with the other pedal. Anything feel

loose? If so, have your dealer check it.

• Take a look at the brake pads. Starting to look worn or not hitting

the wheel rim squarely? Time to have the dealer adjust or replace

them.

• Carefully check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust?

Kinks? Fraying? If so, have your dealer replace them.

• Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel

between your thumb and index finger. Do they all feel about the

same? If any feel loose, have your dealer check the wheel for tension

and trueness.
