MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This is general information for daily, weekly and monthly maintenance to be performed on your bike.
Version 2.1
Version 1.3
DAILY MAINTENANCE
After each exercise session, wipe down all the
equipment: seat, frame and handlebars. Pay
special attention to the seat post, handlebar
post and belt/chain guard. Sweat is very
corrosive and may cause problems that
require parts replacement later.
1. Get on the bike and engage the drive train.
2. Pay attention to any vibrations felt through
the pedals. If you feel any vibrations, you
may need to tighten the pedals, bottom
bracket, or adjust the drive belt/chain
tension.
3. Use a wrench to tighten the pedals until
they are secure.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Check all hardware is secure, such as: bottle
holder, flywheel nuts, belt/chain guard bolts,
brake caliper lock nuts and brake caliper
tension rod nuts.
2. Inspect the brake tension rod for signs of wear
such as missing threads. Clean and lubricate
the brake tension rod.
3. Clean and lubricate the seat post, handlebar
post and seat slider. Remove any buildup of
foreign material.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect moving parts and tighten the
hardware.
2. Inspect pull pin frame fittings, making sure
the fittings are snug. Loose frame fittings
may strip out threads over time and cause
extensive damage.
3. Clean and lubricate pop pin assemblies.
Pull on the pin and spray a small amount
of lubricant onto the shaft.
4. Tighten the seat hardware, making sure
the seat is level and centered.
5. Brush and treat the resistance pads.
Remove any foreign material that may
have collected on the pads. Spray the
pads with silicone lubricant. This helps to
reduce noise from friction between the
pads and the flywheel.
6. Visually inspect the bottom bracket, toe
clips and toe straps. If any of them are
loose or disconnected, attach and tighten.
LEATHER BRAKE PAD CARE (If Applicable)
1. Perform this maintenance when the brake
pad is first installed and for the life of the
brake pad. Following these simple
guidelines can increase the life of your
brake pads.
2. Some brake pad assemblies are pre-
lubricated. Squeeze the brake pad. If
lubricant is released, then the pad has been
pre-lubricated.
3. If the brake pad is dry, then coat the brake
pad with 3-n-1 oil. Brush the leather with a
clean, wire bristle brush, and then apply the
oil. The oil should be allowed to soak into
the pad. Repeat 4-5 times until the pad is
saturated, but not dripping with oil. When
the pad is saturated, it will no longer absorb
oil.
4. Inspect the brake pad weekly and lubricate
if needed. The pad should not have a
glazed appearance. If the pad appears
glazed, then brush it with wire brush and
apply lubricant as needed. If any of the
sponge padding is showing through the
leather pad, the brake pad should be
replaced.
