Please check and adjust lock-rings, cranks, pedals etc before and after every ride. All surfaces should be wiped down with CRC or similar to prevent corrosion particularly if the paint or coatings become scratched. Alternatively surfaces can be sprayed with a clear coat for protection. The driver on the rear wheel should be sprayed well with CRC on a monthly basis. Stripped threads, etc due to parts not being tightened may not be covered by warranty.
