MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

HUB BEARING ADJUSTMENT

When checked, the hub bearings of either wheel will require adjustment if there is any

more than slight side play.

1.Check to make sure neither locknut is loose.

2.To adjust, remove wheel from bicycle and loosen the locknut on one side of the hub

open end wrench.

3.Rotate the adjusting cone as needed to eliminate free play.

4.Re-tighten the locknut while holding the adjusting cone in position.

5.Re-check that the wheel can turn freely without excessive side play.

HEADSET

INSPECTION

The headset bearing adjustment should be checked every month. This is important as

it is the headset which locks the fork into the frame, and if loose, can cause damage

or result in an accident. While standing over the frame top tube with both feet on the

any looseness in the headset, it will need adjustment. Check that the headset is not over

tight by slowly rotating the fork to the right and left. If the fork tends to stick or bind at

any point, the bearings are too tight.

Note:

for repairs and adjustments.

ADJUSTMENT

Note: Do not over tighten or bearing damage will occur.

WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE HEADSET IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED AND

THAT THE HEADSET LOCKNUT IS FULLY TIGHTENED BEFORE RIDING.

WARNING! OVER TIGHTENING THE STEM BOLT OR HEADSET ASSEMBLY MAY

CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BICYCLE AND/OR INJURY TO THE RIDER.
