BICYCLE MAINTENANCE
To keep your bike in a good condition, we want to remind you to do a proper maintanance.
Regulary check if all screws of your bike are properly tightened.
CRANKSET AND PEDALS
After the first 20 km tighten the crankset, and also tighten the pedals to the crank arms. Check
if crank bolts are properly tightened.
IMPORTANT WARNING
A neglect of crank arms tighteness to the bottom bracket square, causes a progressive release of
crank arms from the axle and an unrepairable damage of the crank arm. Only exchange of crank
arms can solve the problem. For possible exchange of crank arms, please contact your specialized
bike service. Pedals must be firmly tightened into crank arms, and it is necessary to check the
tightness periodicaly. Otherwise, the pedal could be released from the crank arm and cause damage
to the thread. Such damage problems mentioned above are not covered by a warranty.
PEDALS ASSEMBLY
Pedals are generally marked by letters R - right pedal and L - left pedal, on the axle of each pedal.
1. First lubricate the thread on pedals with grease before assembly.
2. Screw the right pedal on, by turning it to the right (R) into the thread of the right crank arm (arm
with chainrings).
3. Screw the left pedal on, by turning it to the left (L) into the thread of left crank arm.
4. Tighten firmly with wrench No. 15. Make sure that the shouldering of the pedal axis sits on the
crank arm.
