Wheels - Moustache Lundi 27 Manuel D'utilisation

4.4.6 Cleaning
• Make sure you clean the stanchions after each usage, with a little soapy water and a soft
sponge.
• Then wipe all the surfaces with a soft cloth.
• Carefully inspect all the seals, these guarantee the correct functioning of your forks and
above all their reliability.
Some of the maintenance of your fork, such as lubrication and purging should be carried out
following the specific recommendations of the manufacturer (for this you need to refer to the
notice produced by the manufacturer). These operations should be entrusted to a specialist
who has the correct tools and the knowledge necessary to effectively accomplish this.

4.5 WHEELS

4.5.1 The tires
We have equipped your Moustache bike with high performance tires made by well-known
brands.
We advise you to take into account their individual characteristics, in order to be able to benefit
from them for as long as possible.
> Regularly check the wheel is not buckled or damaged.
The good maintenance of tires needs:
// Sound rims and a rim base in good condition.
// Putting talcum powder from time to time on the inner tube and inside the tire.
// A correct level of pressure. For this, check the span of pressures that
is written on the tire's flank. You do not need to inflate the tire up to
the maximum level indicated, but rather to the level that suits you for
the amount of comfort and grip that you wish to have. You can find
the levels that we advise in the technical Moustache notice that is
available on our website www.moustachebikes.com/en/manuals/
in the section called «Services». Do not go over the maximum pressure
indicated on the tire's flank, or you risk exploding the tire. Leaving the pressure too low
increases your risk of a pinch flat.
// Check the tire frequently for any element that might attach itself to the tire or knobbles,
and remove them.
Some models of tires have a specific design that means there is a sense of rotation that must
be respected. Always follow this sense of direction, as indicated by the arrows on the flank of
these tires.
Mounting a tire or an inner tube:
If you wish to change an inner tube or a tire, for example after a flat, first check the condition of
the rim and rim base, the inner tube and the tire. Always use the same size of tire and of inner
tube as those originally provided with the bike, or go to your local bike retailer to know which
other sizes may be compatible.
Disassembly
• Remove air from the inner tube and move the tire bead to the center and base of the rim.
(see Figure 26).
• Remove one side of the tire bead from the inside of the rim. This can be made easier by
using a tire lever. Be careful not to damage the rim or pinch the inner tube whilst doing this.
• Replace the inner tube and/or the tire.
