LUBRICANTS
After cleaning your bike, it is advisable to spray with a water
dispersant, let it dry and then lubricate moving parts.
The drivetrain and gear cables will benefit from regular
lubrication with a suitable bicycle specific lubricant.

Although the bike uses corrosion resistant hardware - a small
squirt of a water dispersant on all bolt heads will help stop
corrosion and keep the bolts looking like new.
CLEANING
Weather conditions are generally the biggest factor that
determine the frequency of cleaning and lubrication.
Cleaning your bike regularly means you are more likely
to notice any loose or worn components and possible
frame damage. A clean, well lubricated bike will also run
more smoothly and look great.
We recommend using a bicycle cleaner, a sponge and a
brush. Wash, rinse and dry before lubricating it.
DO NOT JET WASH
as this may damage your bike’s
cartridge bearings.
