Problem: Loud Squealing Sound From the Brake

Solution:

A. Use a Phillips Head screwdriver to remove the bolt and spring from

the brake assembly. (See Figure 1.)

B. Slide the brake pads out of the assembly.

C. Rough up the surface with a wire brush if the pads look

glossy.

D. Saturate the brake pads with silicone lubricant after they

have been roughed up.

gives the brake pads a longer life.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Problem: Brake Pads are too Tight on Minimum Resistance

Solution: Turn the resistance knob all the way to the right

(maximum resistance) and let it sit for two hours. This

compresses the guide rod springs allowing space

between the pads and the ﬂywheel. (See Figure 2.)

Service Manual

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem: Brake Pads Off Center

Solution:

A. Use a 10mm wrench to loosen the nylon nut on the front of the

bike.

B. Adjust the brake assembly until the brake pads are evenly

spaced from the ﬂywheel.

C. Tighten the nylon nut using moderate torque.

Figure 3

Figure 4

ﬂywheel.

B. Use a 10mm wrench and turn each chain tensioner bolt 1/4

turn to the right.

C. Get on the bike and check for any play in the chain by

rocking back and forth on the pedals.

the ﬂywheel are moving as one.

NOTE: Make sure that the ﬂywheel aligns with the frame.

Service Manual

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem: Chain Makes a Grinding Sound

Solution: Chain too tight and/or the ﬂywheel out of alignment.

B. Adjust the 10mm chain tensioner bolts to align the ﬂywheel

with the frame. Make sure that the chain tensionis adjusted

properly without being too tight.

C. Adjust the chain tension by locating the point where the

chain is tightest during one revolution of the crank.
