- Brake Inspection: Periodically check brake levers for proper tension and ensure brake pads make full contact with the wheel rim. Adjust as needed.
- Fasteners: Regularly check all nuts, bolts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are securely tightened.
- Cleaning: Clean the bike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the paint or components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes feel loose or ineffective. | Brake cable tension is too low or brake pads are worn. | Adjust brake cable tension at the lever or caliper. Replace worn brake pads. |
| Training wheels wobble or don't provide stable support. | Training wheels are not securely tightened or are set at an incorrect height. | Ensure training wheels are firmly attached to the rear axle. Adjust their height so they are slightly off the ground when the bike is upright, allowing the rear wheel to make contact. |
| Pedals are difficult to turn or make noise. | Chain is dry, dirty, or misaligned. | Clean and lubricate the chain. Check for any obstructions in the chain guard. |
| Handlebar is loose or misaligned. | Stem bolt is not tightened sufficiently. | Re-align the handlebar with the front wheel and securely tighten the stem bolt. |
