Maintenance & Repair
Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure a longer life
for your bike and a safer ride for you.
Every time you ride your bike, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more
frequently maintenance will be required. We recommend you spend a little time on
regular maintenance tasks. The following schedules will assist you in knowing what
tasks need to be performed and how often. If you have any doubts about your
abilities to accomplish these tasks, we recommend you take your bike to a
professional bicycle mechanic periodically to have them done.
