Routine bicycle maintenance is an essential component of riding. The condition of your bicycle changes every time it is used, meaning more frequent maintenance is necessary the more you ride your bicycle. The tables listed below outline the recommendations for servicing your bicycle. By referring to these and the information in Part 5 of this manual, you should be able to complete most of your bicycle maintenance yourself.

Contact your specialist bicycle dealer if you require further assistance.
