Optima Lynx User Manual

Optima seat covers are made from the same
durable and hygienic machine washable
material as the headrest cover, fitting all
standard sized optima seats cushions. These
covers look great and will make your cushion
and clothes last much longer.
Another handy option, exclusively designed
for the stinger, is the aerodynamic luggage
tail box. This luggage carrying fairing
attaches simply and securely to the
integrated rack and upper seat arch,
giving you a dry and secure space to carry your
things as well as an aerodynamic advantage,
all in one attractive unit. All you need to
do to install it is place it on the rack, drill through
the rack and tailbox at two points and fasten the
included bolts.
An exotic accessory from optima is the
carbon fibre seat, weighing in at a mere
675 grams, compared to around 1350 for a
standard medium seat. This seat is stiffer and
lighter than normal seats, giving a lighter bike
and more efcient cycling, not to mention the
beauty and allure of life’s most basic building
block, carbon.

Maintenance
To keep your Optima working optimally you will need to carry out periodic maintenance. This
chapter outlines necessary periodic control and maintenance. We strongly advise you order
the parts listed in the ‘Accessories’ section of this manual from Optima or one of Optima’s
dealers only. This is for your own safety, to ensure you get the right parts.
Keeping your recumbent bicycle properly maintained is very important. Use the following outline
as a guide for repair and maintenance intervals. Many of these tasks are easy to do oneself,
but we recommend that you let an expert do the more challenging work (Working on hydraulic
brakes, truing buckled wheels, etc.). If you have any questions about how best to maintain
your bicycle, please feel free to contact your Optima dealer or Optima’s headquarters in the
Netherlands. (Address can be found in the last chapter of this book; ‘resources’.)
Certain parts such as the spokes and cables will ‘set in’ after the rst few rides, and related
systems may require some adjustment to maintain optimal functionality.
This maintenance schedule is based on normal usage. If you ride your bike more than average
or in adverse conditions, you may want to go over your recumbent more often than the manual
suggests. (carry out a quarterly check every month, for example) If any part malfunctions or
seems to be broken, immediately adjust or repair it yourself, or seek the help of a professional.
Do not ride a bicycle that is not functioning properly.
