Maintenance

and cleaning

The proper and routine bike maintenance is an important 

factor in ensuring comfortable and safe use. You can 

significantly prolong the service life of your bike by observing 

the basic guidelines for using and maintaining your bike.

2.3 bar

In order to achieve the maximum service life of your bike and tyres, 

it is important to routinely check and maintain the recommended air 

pressure in the inner tubes.

When cleaning your bike, first wipe dust and dirt from the frame with 

a dry cloth and then with a wet cloth soaked in a mild detergent 

mixture. Finally, wipe the bike frame with a dry cloth and polish it 

using polishing wax. Clean the rims and any plastic parts of your bike 

with water and a degreaser.

In order to ensure maximum brake friction, keep the rims and brake 

pads clean and degreased. The use of lubricants, waxes, or polishes 

for cleaning the brake pads is not permitted.

Air in the inner tube

After your bike has been exposed to rain, dry it and properly protect 

it using an anti-corrosion coating. If the hub and the bottom brackets 

have been submerged in water, the wheel must be taken to an 

authorised Rog repair service or other expert repair service provider 

that will disassemble the components and re-lubricate them.
