Service instructions
The BMC timemachine is a high-tech, performance oriented product. We ask you to specially take care of your bike if you want it to
deliver the maximum of it's performance over the years.
If you notice parts that are worn out or damaged, do not hesitate to replace the part and or contact your BMC dealer.

Washing your bike

You should never use high pressure washing device to clean your timemachine.
The integrated components of the frameset were designed to be integrated and aerodynamically efficient, they were not designed to
be water-tight at high pressure.
We recommend to use a brush and detergent such as Motorex BIKE CLEAN, rinsed with water.

After washing

- If there is water trapped in your frame, it will drain automatically from below the BB.
- If you feel unusual friction in the front brake assembly, take off the front brake cover and make sure nothing is hindering the movement
of the brake.
- If the steering does not rotate freely after long term storage of the bike, your headset bearings need to be replaced.
Refer to page 32 for instructions.
- If your seatpost makes unusual noise after washing or riding in wet weather, you need to take the seatpost appart and reapply carbon
grease between frame and seatpost. Refer to page 33.
