Lubrication
Lubrication is essential for the various components that move, in order to avoid corrosion. Regularly
grease the chain, brush the sprockets and chainrings and trickle a few drops of lubricant into the brake
and derailleur cable sheaths.
We recommend starting by cleaning and drying the components to be greased.
Specific lubricant is recommended for the chain and derailleur. Grease can be used for the other
components.
Regular checks
Concerning the tightening of the bolts: lever, crank, pedals, brackets.
The tightening torques to apply are as follows:
COMPONENTS
Pedals on crank arms
Crank arm on bottom bracket
Steering tightness
Tilt stem
Headset tightening
Brake lever
Brake callipers
Seat
Seat post clamp
Wheel
The other tightening torques depend on the nut sizes: M4: 2.5 to 4.0 N.m., M5: 4.0 to 6.0 N.m., M6:
6.0 to 7.5 N.m. Tighten the bolts according to the required torque.
Regularly check the tyres and the tread of the rear wheel: wear, cuts, cracks, pinching. Replace the tyre
if necessary. Check the wheel rims for excessive wear, warping, denting, cracks...
Revisions
For safety reasons and to maintain the components in a good state, you should have your bicycle
revised periodically by your distributor. Your bicycle should also undergo regular maintenance by a
qualified technician.
First revision: 1 month or 150 km
