Minor Cable Adjuster Cable Release Bolt
o Turn the Grip-shift™ fully clockwise to the minimum resistance setting. Using
one hand, compress the 2 pads of the V-Brake to just make contact with the
flywheel. Pull the excess cable until it is tight in the cable clamp. Retighten the
bolt to secure the cable.
o The resistance is set, when position 1 or minimum setting is free from contact
with the flywheel and position 2 just makes contact. Use minor adjustment if
required.
o If the pad thickness is reduced to less than 4mm, they need to be changed. (See
Pad Changing instructions in Parts – Removal and Replacement)
2. Wipe down the flywheel with WD-40® or equivalent light oil spray. This lubricant will
clean the surface of the flywheel and help prevent rust.
3. Lubricating the chain – Using a spray can with an extension nozzle; you can gain access
to the chain from the front of the chain guard with general light maintenance oil.
4. To keep the X-Bike looking new, wipe the general bodywork of the X-Bike and X-Bars
with a clean damp cloth. Use conventional dish washing detergent but never use abrasive
materials to clean the bike. Be certain to wipe off all traces of perspiration when you are
finished as it contains salt and other corrosive substances that can damage surfaces and/or
leave a white residue.
5. If you should need assistance or service, contact your service department

1. Chain Tensioning
Inspect the chain for tensioning by rotating the crank to drive the flywheel forward. Do
this motion in ¼ turns to assess if there is free play between the crank and the flywheel.
Tensioning the flywheel is achieved by adjusting the bolts in the front forks of the bike,
which set the position on the flywheel axle in the frame. To Tension the chain, undo the
axle nuts on either side of the flywheel enough to release the grip and allow the flywheel
to move.
Axle Position Markings Chain Adjusting Bolts
Turn the chain tensioning bolts on both sides of the frame by the same amount to ensure
correct alignment. Continue to adjust in small amounts until the chain slack is eliminated
and the flywheel can rotate freely without pulling the pedals around with it.
