3. Maintenance

3.1 General

Do not allow any cleaning product or oil to come
into contact with the brake linings, brake discs or
braking surfaces on the rim. If this does happen, it
will hinder the performance of your brakes.
Do not use a powerful jet of water or a pressure
washer for cleaning. If a jet of water is too
powerful, it could get into the bearings and dilute
the lubricant causing increased friction. The result
of this is that rust will form and the bearings will be
damaged.
Cleaning suggestions
• Check that the contacts are dry before riding the
bike again.
Never clean your bike with:
•
acid solutions,
•
greases,
•
hot oil,
•
brake cleaning products (apart from for brake
discs)
•
liquids containing solvents.
These substances attack the surfaces of the bike
and encourage wear and tear.
After use, dispose of lubricants and cleaning and
maintenance products according to rules for
protecting the environment. Do not dispose of
these substances with household waste, in drains
or in nature.
Your bike will only work properly and last if you
look after it.
Clean your bike regularly with a sponge and
hot water, applying small quantities of cleaning
products.
When you do this, make sure there are no cracks,
grooves or distortions anywhere on your bike.
Replace faulty parts before using your bike.
In particular, make sure you regularly deal with
any parts affected by corrosion, using protective
and maintenance products, especially in winter
or in aggressive environments, such as by the sea.
Failure to do this, the corrosion (rust) could spread
more extensively and faster on your bike.
Regularly clean all galvanized and chrome parts,
as well as stainless steel components.
If you do not use your bike for a while, in winter
for example, store it somewhere dry, at a uniform
temperature.
Before putting your bike away, pump up both tyres
according to the recommended inflation pressure.
Check the websites of the relevant component
manufacturers to find out the most important
points about this subject.
Parts subject to wear
Your bike is a technical product that needs to be
checked regularly.
A large number of parts experience considerable
natural wear depending on their use.
Get your bike checked regularly and get worn
parts replaced by your approved O2Feel reseller.
General instructions for use
Tyres
Tyres experience natural wear. This wear depends
on the use of the bike, and can be affected
significantly by the user.
Do not brake so that the wheels stop completely.
Regularly check your tyre pressure. The maximum
and minimum inflation pressures are usually
indicated on the side of the tyre.
If necessary, pump up your tyres until they are at
the indicated pressure. This will reduce wear.
The tire pressure may not exceed the maximum
as stated on the side of the tire. The tires must
be inflated to at least the minimum stated tire
pressure.
Avoid exposing the tyres to harmful elements, such
as sunlight, petrol, oil etc.
Brake linings
Brake linings for rim brakes and disc brakes are
consumables and become worn according to
the bike's usage. If the bike is used to cycle on
mountainous terrain or for sporting purposes,
the brake linings may need to be changed more
regularly. Regularly check how worn the brake
linings are and, if necessary, have them replaced
by your approved O2Feel reseller. Use approved
and compatible brakepads only.
