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. 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.
