INSTRUCTION MANUAL
- Dirty or greasy wheels:
WARNING – These conditions can make the brakes unproductive. Do not clean wheels
with oily and greasy substances.
Use a clean cloth or soapy water if they are really dirty. Dry them well. Pay attention
while riding if the wheels are wet. When you lubricate the bicycle do not touch the
wheel with oily or greasy substances.
-
Twisted wheels:
Lift up both wheels and make them turn to see if they are twisted. If they are, it is neces-
sary that expert personnel fixes it.
-
Broken or loose spokes:
Check if spokes are tight and if some of them are missing or damaged.
WARNING – These problems can create instability or cause accidents.
Also, in this case, make it fix by expert personnel.
Loose hub bearings:
1. Lift one wheel off the ground at a time and try to move it to the right and to the left.
2. Check that the wheel fixing nuts are properly tightened.
3. If the movement of the wheel between the axle and the hub persists, do not drive the
bike and take it to a specialized technician.
Tyre inspection:
The tyres must be properly maintained for adequate road holding and stability. Check
the following specifications:
Inflation:
Make sure the tyres are inflated in accordance to the pressure indicated on the side
of the tyre. We recommend you use a pressure gauge and a hand pump rather than
a service station pump.
WARNING - If the tyres are inflated with the pump of a service station be careful not to in-
flate the wheels beyond the indicated limit because they could burst.
Tread: Check that tread has no signs of excessive wear or irregularity, and that there are
no cuts or other damaged parts.
