Servicing
FIRST SERVICE
On the first few rides the wheels might be subject to a bedding-in process or cables may stretch,
making gear shifting imprecise. In the first 30 days Hummingbird must be taken to a bike shop
for inspection and adjustments if necessary.
REGUL AR ANNUAL SERVICE
If you have been riding regularly through the year we recommend that you have your bike
thoroughly checked. Depending on how much you cycle, the repair of worn-down parts may be
necessary already.
The annual service can be carried out by our skilled staff at Hummingbird, upon request. Please
contact us at
+44 (0) 1295 273 355 or email us at hello@hummingbirdbike.com
Alternatively, you can take Hummingbird to any authorised bicycle shop. We have tried our best
to make Hummingbird as easy to service as possible. Still, there are some unique design features
that might require further instructions. Please do contact us with any enquiries.
HUMMINGBIRD SAFET Y CHECK
If you ride your Hummingbird less than 1,000 km (620 miles) a year, it requires less servicing.
Please service when required - consult the maintenance table for further details. We have
developed a maintenance schedule to help you enjoy your Hummingbird for many miles.
To be able to enjoy your Hummingbird for many years it needs to be serviced regularly. The
schedule given in chapter “Maintenance” is a rough guide for cyclists who ride their bike
between 1,500 and 2,500 km (930 and 1,550 miles) a year. If your Hummingbird does harder
service, either because your mileage is consistently bigger or because you ride a great deal on
poor road surfaces, it will require shorter maintenance periods. This includes frequent rides in
the rain, as well as in wet conditions. If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only
use original parts.
THE FIRST 2 YEARS
During the warranty period (1 year for components and 5 years for the frame), Hummingbird
make available all your essential spare parts. In the event of unavailability, Hummingbird will
offer spare parts of equal or higher value.
Never work on your bicycle unless you feel absolutely confident in your skills!
