General Notes on Care and Servicing
Maintenance and Servicing
Your STEVENS dealer will have assembled and adjusted your STEVENS bicycle
ready for use when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your STEVENS bicy-
cle needs regular servicing. Have your local STEVENS dealer do the scheduled
maintenance work. This is the only way to ensure that all components function
according to their constructive design.
The bicycle will be due for its first service after 100 to 300 kilometres (60 to
180 miles), 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four to six weeks. The bedding-in period
typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears becoming out of adjust-
ment, so there is every reason to have your dealer service the STEVENS bicycle at
this stage. This bedding and settling in process is unavoidable. Therefore, remem-
ber to make an appointment with your STEVENS dealer for the first service of your
new STEVENS bicycle. The first service is very important for both functioning and
durability of your STEVENS bicycle.
The intended use of the STEVENS bicycle includes regular servicing and the
replacement of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads or Bowden and
brake cables, and therefore has an influence on the warranty and the guarantee,
as well. It is advisable to have your STEVENS bicycle serviced regularly by your
STEVENS dealer after the bedding-in period. If you ride a great deal on poor road
surfaces or cross-country, it will require correspondingly shorter service periods.
For more information see chapter “Service and Maintenance Schedule”.
Danger:
If a component needs to
be replaced, make it a
rule to only use original
spare parts. Wearing
parts of other manufac-
turers, e.g. brake pads
or chains, may render
your STEVENS bicycle
unsafe. Risk of accident!
Caution:
Do not clean your
STEVENS bicycle with a
high-pressure cleaner
or a water jet and if you
do, be sure to keep it at
a distance. Do not aim
at the bearings.
Danger:
Servicing and repairs are jobs best left to your STEVENS dealer. If you have
your bicycle serviced by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk that
parts of your STEVENS bicycle will fail. Risk of accident! When working
on your STEVENS bicycle restrict yourself to jobs for which you have the
suitable tools, e.g. a torque wrench, and the necessary knowledge.
Cleaning and Caring for Your STEVENS Bicycle
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm
your STEVENS bicycle. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all com-
ponents at regular intervals.
Avoid cleaning your bicycle with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure
water ejected in a narrowly focused jet may pass through seals and penetrate
bearings. This leads to the dilution of lubricants and consequently to greater fric-
tion. This destroys and impairs the functioning of the bearing races in the long
term. Pressurised water also tends to abrade frame stickers.
Danger:
Tyres of other dimen-
sions can impair the
safety of your STEVENS
bicycle. Therefore, only
replace tyres by tyres of
identical type and size.
In case a component
needs to be replaced,
only use original spare
parts, if possible.
Contact your STEVENS
dealer.
A much more gentle way of cleaning your bicycle is with a low pressure water
jet or a bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bicycle by
hand has another positive side-effect: you may discover defects in the paint as
well as worn or defective components at an early stage. Inspect the chain after you
have finished cleaning and oil it, if necessary (see chapter “Chain Maintenance”
in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual on the enclosed CD-ROM). Apply
a coat of standard hard wax on painted, metal and carbon surfaces (except from
brake surfaces). Polish the waxed surfaces after drying to give them a nice shine.
Danger:
While cleaning, watch
out for cracks, scratch-
es, dents as well as
deformed or discoloured
material. Have defective
components replaced
immediately and touch
up paint defects. If you
are in doubt or if you
have any questions,
contact your STEVENS
dealer.
Danger:
Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads, rotors and rim
sides (brake surfaces). This could render the brake ineffective (see chapter
“The Brake System” in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as
well as in the instructions of the brake manufacturer on the enclosed
CD-ROM)! Never grease or lubricate the clamping areas of a frame made
of carbon, e.g. handlebars, stem, seat post and seat tube. Once greased,
carbon components may never again ensure reliable clamping!
Safekeeping and Storing Your STEVENS Bicycle
If you regularly look after your STEVENS bicycle during the season, you will
not need to take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart from
securing it against theft. Store your bicycle in a dry, well aerated place. If you want
to store your STEVENS bicycle for a longer period of time, e.g. over the winter
months, observe the following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to gradually lose air
when the bike is not used for a long time. If your STEVENS bicycle is left standing
on flat tyres for an extended period, this can cause damage to the structure of
the tyres. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire STEVENS bicycle
or to check the tyre pressure regularly. Clean your STEVENS bicycle and protect
it against corrosion. Your STEVENS dealer has special cleaning agents, e.g. spray
wax.
Remove the seat post and allow for any moisture that may have entered to dry
away. Spray a little finely atomized oil into the metal seat tube. However, do not
apply oil in a carbon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the
smallest sprocket. This relaxes the cables and the springs.
Note:
There are hardly any waiting times at your STEVENS dealer during the
winter months. In addition, many of the STEVENS dealers offer an annual
check-up at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your
STEVENS dealer to do the scheduled maintenance work!
Caution:
Only use petroleum
based solvents for
cleaning tough oil or
grease stains from paint
and carbon surfaces.
Never use degreasing
agents containing ace-
tone, methyl chloride or
the like, or solvent-con-
taining, non-neutral
or chemical cleaning
agents that could attack
the surface!
