Chapter 5: Service
WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and
bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation
is increasing. It is impossible for this manual 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 repair or
maintenance which is not specically described in this manual
performed by your dealer. Equally important is that your
individual maintenance requirements will be determined by
everything from your riding style to geographic location.
Consult your dealer for help in determining your maintenance
requirements.
WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks require
special knowledge and tools. Do not begin any adjustments or
service on your bicycle until you have learned from your dealer
how to properly complete them. Improper adjustment or
service may result in damage to the bicycle or in an accident
which can cause serious injury or death.
If you want to learn to do major service and repair work on your bike:
1. Ask your dealer for copies of the manufacturer’s installation and service
instructions for the components on your bike, or contact the component
manufacturer.
2. Ask your dealer to recommend a book on bicycle repair.
3. Ask your dealer about the availability of bicycle repair courses in your
area.
We recommend that you ask your dealer to check the quality of your work
the rst time you work on something and before you ride the bike, just to
make sure that you did everything correctly. Since that will require the time
of a mechanic, there may be a modest charge for this service.
We also recommend that you ask your dealer for guidance on what spare
parts, such as inner tubes, light bulbs, etc. it would be appropriate for
you to have once you have learned how to replace such parts when they
require replacement.
A. Service Intervals
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the
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 qualied bicycle mechanic using the
correct tools and procedures specied 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 rst 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 ne 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 rst checkup is to bring the bike in after three to
ve 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)
