i. Pedals
The G Plus Genesis uses folding pedals to require a slimmer space when folded. Each pedal has 2 tabs on the
outside edges of the pedal’s nylon cage. To fold the pedals, squeeze the tabs and pull the pedal outwards with a
slight force. Once the pedal nylon cage slides out ½” from the aluminum body, you can fold the pedal down. To
straighten the pedal for riding, lift the pedal nylon cage and slide the pedal back into the aluminum body. A slight
force may be required to push the pedal in and for the tabs to lock the pedal in place.
The pedals with the G Plus Genesis have a double bearing system. These bearings will need to be greased from
time to time, it is best you bring the pedals to your neighborhood bicycle dealer to grease the pedal bearings.
j. Headset
Cartridge bearing headsets are only utilized on all Prodeco Technologies bicycles. These are maintenance free
systems and should not be serviced by anyone other than a knowledgeable bicycle repair person. The headset on
your bicycle is a double nut threaded system with an alloy cover. The headset is what holds the fork tight to the
frame of your bicycle. There is a mall chance these nuts could become loose over time. If you notice the handlebar
is loose to the fork, bring your bicycle to a local bicycle shop so they can tighten the headset.
k. Maintenance schedule
As a common practice you should follow your maintenance schedule. You should study it and allow it to become
second nature to your riding.
Maintenance Schedule Each Ride Weekly Monthly 6 Months Yearly
