Service
WARNING:
With increasing technological advances
and innovations, bicycles and their
components are more complex than
ever. This manual is to provide all the
information required to properly repair
and or maintain your bicycle. In order to
help minimize the chances of an accident
and possible injury, it is critical that you
have any repairs or maintenance performed
by your dealer. Routine maintenance
requirements will be determined by your
riding style and geographic location.
Consult your dealer for help in determining
your maintenance requirements.
WARNING:
Bicycle maintenance and repair tasks
require special knowledge and tools.
Until you have learned to properly
complete any adjustments or services
on your bicycle from a dealer, do not
ride your bicycle. Improper adjustment
or service may result in damage to the
bicycle or in an accident that can cause
serious injury or death.
Service Intervals
Various service and maintenance should
be performed by the owner, which do not
require any special tools or knowledge
beyond what is presented in this manual.
Throughout the manual you will find the
following examples in the types of services
you should perform yourself. All other
services, maintenance and repairs should
be executed in a properly equipped facility
by a qualified bicycle mechanic, using the
correct tools and procedures specified by
the manufacturer.
Break-in Period
Your bike will last longer and work better if you
break it in. Control cables and wheel spokes
may stretch or “seat” when a new bike is first
used, and may require readjustment by your
dealer. The ‘Mechanical Safety Check’ can help
you identify components that will need
readjustment. If everything seems fine to you,
it is still always best to take your bike back to the
dealer for a check-up. Typically, dealers suggest
you bring the bike in for a 30-day check-up.
A way to judge when it is time for the first check-up
is to bring the bike in after three to five hours of
hard off-road use, or about 10 to 15 hours of on
and off-road use. If you think something is wrong
with the bike, take it to your dealer before riding
it again.
After Every Long or Hard Ride
If the bike has been exposed to water, dirt
or endured tough terrain, make sure you
clean and lightly oil the chain with a dry
Teflon lubrication (synthetic based chain lube).
Then, wipe off any excess oil. Long lasting
lubrication varies with climate: hot or cold,
wet or dry. For general cycle lubrication,
Dahon suggests using lightweight mineral
based oil that is available in most bike shops
or hardware stores. If you have any questions,
please talk to your dealer as incorrect
lubricants can damage the painted surfaces.
After Every Long or Hard Ride or
After Every 10 to 20 Hours of Riding
Whilst squeezing the front brake, rock the bike
back and forth. If you hear unusual or clonking
noises with each forward or backward movement
of the bike, you probably have a loose headset.
To check the tightness of your headset, lift the
front wheel off the ground and swing it from side
to side. If you feel any binding or roughness in
steering, you may have a tight headset. Another
test is to hold one pedal and shake it back and
forth from the centerline of the bike and then do
the same with the opposite pedal. Any looseness
should be referred to your dealer.
