MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This is general information for daily, weekly and monthly maintenance to be performed on your bike.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
After each exercise session, wipe down all the
equipment: seat, frame, and handlebars. Pay
special attention to the seat post, handlebar post,
and belt/chain guard. Sweat is very corrosive and
may cause problems that require parts replacement
later.
1. Get on the bike and engage the drive train.
2. Pay attention to any vibrations felt through the
pedals. If you feel any vibrations, you may need
to tighten the pedals, bottom bracket, or adjust
the drive belt/chain tension.
3. Use a wrench to tighten the pedals until they are
secure.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect moving parts and tighten the hardware.
2. Inspect pull pin frame fittings to make sure the
fittings are secure. Loose frame fittings may
strip out threads over time and cause extensive
damage.
3. Clean and lubricate pop pin assemblies. Pull on
the pin and spray a small amount of lubricant
onto the shaft.
4. Tighten the seat hardware to make sure the
seat is level and centered.
5. Brush and treat the resistance pads. Remove
any foreign material that may have collected on
the pads. Spray the pads with silicone lubricant.
This helps to reduce noise from friction between
the pads and the flywheel.
6. Visually inspect the bottom bracket, toe clips
and toe straps. If any of them are loose or
disconnected, attach and tighten

such as missing threads. Clean and lubricate

post and seat slider. Remove any buildup of
foreign material.
Perform this maintenance when the brake pad is
first installed and for the life of the brake pad.
Following these simple guidelines can increase
the life of your brake pads.
Some brake pad assemblies are pre-lubricated.
Squeeze the brake pad. If lubricant is released,
then the pad has been pre-lubricated.
If the brake pad is dry, then coat the brake pad
with 3-n-1 oil. Brush the leather with a clean, wire
bristle brush, and then apply the oil. The oil should
be allowed to soak in to the pad. Repeat 4-5 times
until the pad is saturated, but not dripping with oil.
When the pad is saturated, it will no longer absorb
oil.
Inspect the brake pad weekly and lubricate if
needed. The pad should not have a glazed
appearance. If the pad appears glazed, then
brush it with wire brush and apply lubricant as
needed. If any of the sponge padding is showing
through the leather pad, the brake pad should be
replaced.
