Knowing Your Bike

Few things equal the thrill of owning a brand new bicycle - we very much hope
you thoroughly enjoy your recent bicycle purchase - but make no mistake,
regular and consistent maintenance is most definitely going to be needed if the
bicycle is to remain in a safe and roadworthy condition.

Some people decide to hand the maintenance aspect of a bicycle over to a local
cycle shop that specialises in quarterly servicing.

However that is not necessarily the cheapest or best option - it is definitely
possible, providing a bit of care and attention to detail is initially taken, for even
the most inexperienced cyclist to successfully maintain their bicycle to a
satisfactory standard.

We have attached for your reference a good comprehensive break down of two
of our most popular bicycle models - using these, in addition to the excellent
owners manual supplied with your bicycle will help you familiarise yourself with
the various components and their functions.

Once studied and understood, regular maintenance and general running repairs
(repairing a puncture to replacing a chain etc) will quickly become routine.
