1. Ask your dealer whether copies of the manufacturer's installation
and service instructions for the components on your bike are
available.
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.
Regardless of which option you select, we recommend that you ask
your dealer to check the quality of your work the first time you work
on something and before you ride the bike, just to make sure that
you have done everything correctly. Since this will require the time of
a mechanic, there may be a modest charge for this service.
7.1. Service & Maintenance Schedule
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 qualified bicycle
mechanic using the correct tools and procedures specified by the
manufacturer.
7.1.1. 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 4.3) 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.
7.1.2. Mechanical Safety Check before every
ride:
(see Section 4.3)
7.1.2.a. 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 and lightly oil the chain, freewheel cogs and rear
derailleur pulley bushings. 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.
