side of the seat tube. Periodically inspect the fork for any signs of damage. If you suspect
it may be broken, bent, cracked do not use it. Inspect if the steer tube and fork blades are
straight and dropouts for cracks or damage. Do not ride on the damaged fork - it may
cause serious injury or death. Note: The handlebars should be replaced at least once a
year as they are submitted to fatigue. Check the cranks for play (hold the bicycle with
one hand, and the pedals with the other and look for play by trying to push the pedals
from one side of the bicycle to the other). If any play is found contact your local bike
shop. Periodically check hubs for play and have the bearings adjusted if necessary by
professional bicycle mechanic. The bearings should be lubricated about once a year.
Keep your chain cleaned and lubed. This is especially important if you ride often in wet
conditions. Use proper bicycle chain lubricants, WD-40 is not one of them!
WARNING: As for all mechanical components, the bicycle is subject to wear and
tear as well as high stresses. The reaction of various materials and components
to wear or stress fatigue may dier. Having exceeded the life expectancy of a
component may result in its sudden failure, possibly causing injuries to the
rider. Any forms of breaks, cracks, scratches or changes of colouring in highly
stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it
should be replaced.
