This is
an indoor training cycle and I’m just going to give you a tip with
regard to maintenance.
Quite
often pedals will be subject to wear so this is the sort of thing you
might need to check every 6 to 12 months, it depends on how much you
use the bike.
Pedal
straps for example are wearing parts and they can fray, particularly
the edges, and at the top here, these are quite inexpensive so if it
starts to fray it’s always best to change it before it breaks.
And
also, while you’re at it, check the pedal as well because these
pedals have got bearings that go through the center and obviously, if
you use the bike a lot, those bearings can be subject to wear.
What
you can do is, with your spray oil, apply a little bit of lubricant
in between the end of the pedal and the crank arm, just give it a
couple of turns, work it in and we’ve really invigorated the
bearings and just make them turn free again.
That’s
all you need to do and that’ll help keeping the pedal going for
quite a long time and avoid bearing wear.
If
you’ve got the residue just clean it up. Check for corrosion
because obviously if you’re perspiring on the bike this joint can
get corroded so with a damp cloth or gym wipes give a clean and then
they are good to go.
