Before lubricating, carefully clean the drivetrain (system, sprocket pack,
chainrings and rear derailleur wheels) with a brush or cloth soaked in a specific
degreaser/detergent. In the case of dust or mud, remove any residuals with
specific plastic tools.
IMPORTANT: for cleaning the bicycle only use environmentally-friendly and
neutral products without caustic substances and safe to use for you and for the
environment.
- Dry the drivetrain with a soft cloth: never use abrasive sponges or metal
scouring pads.
- Carefully lubricate the components, using a specific chain lubricant.
- After application, turn the hand cranks using all the possible gear
combinations in order to properly lubricate the entire drivetrain.
- Carefully clean any remaining lubricant remaining on the bicycle or the floor.
WARNING!
Lubricant residues on the rims, brake shoes, discs and brake pads can
decrease or nullify your bicycle's braking capacity, and can lead to acci-
dents, physical injuries, or even death.
