III. Regular checks
Concerning the tightening of the bolts: lever, crank, pedals, brackets.
The tightening torques to apply are as follows:
Components
Pedals on crank arms
Crank arm on bottom bracket
Steering tightness
Stem / handlebar tightness
Brake lever
Brake callipers
Seat fixing
Seat clamp
Wheel
Luggage rack
The other tightening torques depend on the nut sizes: M4: 2,5 to 4.0 N.m, M5: 4,0 to 6.0 N.m, M6: 6.0
to 7.5 N.m.. Tighten the bolts according to the required torque.
Regularly check the tyres and the tread of the rear wheel: wear, cuts, cracks, pinching. Replace the tyre
if necessary. Check the wheel rims for excessive wear, warping, denting, cracks...
IV. Reviews
For safety reasons and to maintain the components in a good condition, you should have your bicycle revised
periodically by your distributor. Your bicycle should also undergo regular maintenance by a qualified
technician.
First review: 1 month or 150 km
