Before lubricating, carefully clean the drivetrain (system, sprocket pack, chainrings
and rear derailleur wheels) with a brush or cloth soaked in a specific degreaser/
detergent. In the case of dust or mud, remove any residuals with specific plastic
tools.
IMPORTANT: for cleaning the bicycle only use environmentally-friendly and neutral
products without caustic substances and safe to use for you and for the environment.
- Dry the drivetrain with a soft cloth: never use abrasive sponges or metal scouring
pads.
- Carefully lubricate the components, using a specific chain lubricant.
- After application, turn the hand cranks using all the possible gear combinations in
order to properly lubricate the entire drivetrain.
- Carefully clean any remaining lubricant remaining on the bicycle or the floor.
WARNING!
Lubricant residues on the rims, brake shoes, discs and brake pads can decrease or
nullify your bicycle's braking capacity, and can lead to accidents, physical injuries, or
even death.
