IMPORTANT: If your facility allows members to interchange pedals, it is critical that the pedals are checked after each class
to prevent damage, which may lead to injuries if ignored.
Water bottle (V-bike & Spinner Pro)
Tighten down assembly screws.
NOTE: Water bottle cages are easily damaged when oversized bottles are forced to fit within the bottle cage. Checking and
tightening the screws will help prevent damage.

EEKLY MAINTENANCE
Weekly maintenance should focus on the overall performance of the group cycle. During these inspections, look for vibration and
possible loose assemblies.
Have an experienced rider ride each cycle to identify and help diagnose any vibration, noises, and any "unusual" feeling from
the drive chain. Either faulty flywheel alignment or a loose chain can cause vibration.
o Check for proper flywheel alignment. Torque flywheel nuts as necessary.
o Remove chain guard and check for loose chain. Adjust chain as necessary (refer to "Chain Adjustment" on page 14).
o Inspect The Bottom Bracket Assembly (BBA). The BBA will come loose periodically and require tightening. Loose play (left
and right motion) indicates the BBA needs adjusting. (V-bike only)
Inspect each cycle for loose assemblies, parts, bolts and nuts. Give particular attention to the following:
o Tighten all frame base hardware.
o Tighten all pull pin handles.
o Tighten seat hardware.
o Tighten pedal toe clip / toe straps.
o Inspect and tighten tension knob assembly.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
The monthly maintenance check should be a comprehensive inspection of the overall frame and main assembly components of the
group cycle.
Inspection
Inspect the frame and main assembly components for rust or corrosion. Tilt the cycle or place in an upside down position to
locate areas where rust and corrosion may develop. Use a small, wire brush to remove rust build-up in small crevasses, such
as leveling feet, pop pin handles and other bolt assemblies. Give particular attention to the following areas:
o Leveling feet
o Pop pin handles
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 pad for wear. Rips, tears or excessive movement indicates replacement is required.
o Inspect pedals for play. Excessive movement of pedals indicates replacement is required.
