Regular checks
Check the tightness of the bolts: lever, crank, pedals, stems. The
tightening torques to be applied are as follows:
COMPONENTS
Pedals on crank arms
Crank arm on bottom
bracket
Headset tightening
Steering tightness
Brake lever
Brake calipers
Seat

Wheel
Luggage rack
The other tightening torques depend on the size of the nuts: M4: 2.5 to
4.0 Nm, M5: 4.0 to 6.0 Nm, M6: 6.0 to 7.5 Nm. Tighten the screws
evenly to the required torque.
Regularly check the tyres (1) and in particular the tread of the rear tyre:
wear, cuts, cracks, pinching. Replace the tyre if necessary. Check the
wheel rims for excessive wear, warping, denting, cracks...
