FAQs

What tools do I need for assembly?

You'll need a basic set of tools, including a wrench for the pedals, stem, and handlebars. An Allen key set is also useful for tightening various bolts. A pump for the tyres is also required.

How often should I lubricate the chain?

Lubricate the chain every 2-3 weeks, or more often if you ride in wet or dusty conditions. Wipe the chain clean before applying lubricant.

How do I adjust the brakes?

If the brakes are too loose, tighten the cable at the brake lever. If they are too tight, loosen the cable. If this is not effective, you may need a bike mechanic to check the brakes.

What tire pressure should I use?

The recommended tire pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tire. Ensure you check this before every ride.

How do I clean the bike?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the frame and components. Avoid using high-pressure water jets, as they can force water into sensitive areas. Dry the bike thoroughly after cleaning.

What type of maintenance is required?

Regularly check the tire pressure, lubricate the chain, and inspect the brakes and gears. Schedule professional servicing every 6-12 months, or sooner if needed.

Troubleshooting

Gears slipping or not changing smoothly.

Adjust the gear cables or consult a bike mechanic for adjustments to the derailleurs.

Brakes not stopping the bike effectively.

Tighten the brake cables or replace brake pads if worn. Ensure the brake levers are adjusted correctly.

Bike feels unstable or wobbly.

Check and tighten all bolts and nuts, especially on the handlebars, stem, and wheels. Ensure tires are properly inflated.

Pedals feel loose or wobbly.

Tighten the pedals to the crank arms using the appropriate wrench.
