Cable Tension Adjustment
1.The rotor bearing unit should appear parallel to the upper and lower cable stops once installed. If the unit is tilted, pull each cable end one at a time, to see which one has slack on the bearing hook. Pick up the slack through the adjusting barrel. When even pull on all four cables is reached secure all four lock nuts.
2.Check for even pull on all four cables by rotating the handlebar while the front wheel is off the ground. If a fluttering noise is heard in the rotor bearing unit as the upper and lower cables pass each other, repeat the adjusting step 1.
SADDLE AND SEAT POST
Inspection
Part of your monthly maintenance tasks needs to include inspection and adjustment of the seat post binder bolt and the seat fixing bolt, ensuring both are firmly secured. When the seat post is removed from the frame, a mark about 65mm up from the bottom can be observed, with the words “max. height” or “minimum insertion”. At all times a minimum of 65mm of seat tube must always remain
in the frame.
Never ride a bicycle with the minimum insertion/max. height mark visible on the seat post. Doing so may damage the seat post, the frame or potentially even the rider.
