Daily Maintenance Tasks
Note Raise seat and handlebar posts to their highest setting to expose moisture.
• If your facility allows members to interchange pedals, check all pedals after each class to ensure pedals are properly secured to prevent damage,
which may lead to injuries.
• Wipe the bike frame using a clean lint-free cloth dampened with 30 parts water to 1 part non-abrasive detergent.
• Use a lint-free cloth to dry the bike. Pay special attention to the handlebar, pop-pins, resistance knob, chain guard, flywheel, and seat adjustment
assembly.
• Check warning and instruction labels.
Weekly Maintenance Tasks
• Clean the floor under the equipment. Do not lift and hold equipment while vacuuming.
• Ride each bike to identify any vibration, noises, and chain issues. Most vibration issues are caused by poor flywheel alignment or a loose chain.
• Check for flywheel alignment.
• Inspect each bike for loose assemblies, parts, bolts and nuts. Give particular attention to the following:
o Frame hardware
o Seat and handlebar hardware including knobs and pop-pin handles
o Toe straps/toe clips
Monthly Maintenance Tasks
The monthly maintenance check is a comprehensive inspection of the entire bike frame and hardware in addition to the weekly maintenance tasks.
Inspect the bike for rust or corrosion. Turn the bike upside down to thoroughly examine the underside components.
• Check flywheel alignment and torque flywheel nuts as necessary.
• Remove chain guard and check for loose chain/belt. Adjust chain/belt as necessary.
• Use a soft nylon scrub brush to remove rust build-up in small crevasses, such as pedals and pop-pin threaded stems.
• Inspect all wear items for adjustments or possible part replacement. Give particular attention to the following:
o Inspect brake pad for wear. Excessive wear, such as glazing or leather separation, indicates replacement is required.
o Inspect seat pads for wear. Rips, tears, or excessive movement indicates replacement is required.
o Tighten seat hardware.
o Inspect pedals for excessive movement. Excessive movement indicates replacement is required.
o Tighten pedal toe straps and toe clips.
o Inspect and tighten resistance knob assembly.
o Level feet.
