All about the maintenance of the bike

Before the ride
  • Check the tyre pressure.
  • Checking the lubrication of the chain.
  • Check on the V-Brakes if the tubes that guide the wire rope are in place.
  • Check if the wheels are centered between the fork and the scissors.
  • Check that the brake "shoes" "press" at the correct height on the rim of the wheel.
  • Checking the stroke of the cuff.
  • Sprinkle the bike and "ear" the bike for strange sounds.
  • Check that the gear case you are carrying is properly positioned and secured.
  • Check that the pump is securely fastened.
  • Check that the front wheel is securely fastened by stopping it with the brake and trying to turn it.
After the ride
  • Check and clean the wheels, if necessary (stones, thorns, etc.)
  • If it is quite dirty, a good wash, taking care not to get too much water on the moving parts (bearings, bearings, moving mechanisms, etc.), is necessary. Wipe it down and let it dry thoroughly.
  • Dry the wet chain and pour some lubricant.
Service frequency


For the smooth operation of your bike, it is advisable to have a basic check two to three times a year, depending on the use of the bike. Frequent check-ups will prevent hassle on the road and most importantly ensure a safe, functional and well-maintained bike that will provide you with pleasure and performance.
This check should include checking tyres, brakes, chain and gear oiling. Contact a specialist shop that will offer organised servicing and repair in the event of a breakdown.
By doing so, you ensure safe and secure rides for you, longevity and functionality of your bike.
