MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
Spokes and Rims
The spokes on both wheels must all be securely
and evenly tightened and not be allowed to loosen.
Unevenly tightened or loose spokes will cause the
rim to warp, the nipples and spokes to fatigue more
quickly, and the spokes to break.

Bead Protector
There is a bead protector on the both wheels. The
bead protector prevents the tire and tube from slip-
ping on the rim and damaging the valve stem. Valve
stem damage may cause the tube to leak, necessi-
tating tube replacement. In order to keep the tire and
tube in position on the rim, inspect the bead protec-
tor before riding and tighten it if necessary. Tighten
the valve stem nut finger tight only.
