MAINTENANCE & hANdlING TIPS

MAINTENANCE

Follow the procedures below to

maintain your Bigﬁsh folding bike in

good condition for years. The best

protection against deterioration of your

Bigﬁsh folding bike is regular cleaning

and upkeep.

Do NOT wash the Bigﬁsh folding bike with

high pressure water spray. Do NOT clean your

bike with a steam cleaner.

Clean it with a damp cloth soaked in a

mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth.

Use soap and water to clean plastic

parts and rubber tyres.

Regular cleaning and upkeep is

especially important when using the

Bigﬁsh folding bike in the winter or in a

region where the air has an extremely

high salt content. Salt and dirt can ﬁnd

their way into bearings and attack the

paintwork and surfaces of screws.

Riding in coastal areas exposes your

folding bike to salt which is very

corrosive. Wash your Bigﬁsh folding

bike frequently and wipe or spray all

unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment.

Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking

performance is not affected. After rain,

dry your folding bike and apply anti-rust

treatment.

If paint has been scratched or chipped

to the metal, use touch-up paint to

prevent rust.

LUBRICATION

Lubrication of components is required

for functioning and optimal service life

for your folding bike, and for preventing

corrosion of the components. Use

vaseline-type oil for cables and drive

train parts. It is recommendable to use

a special type of oil for the chain.

If the Bigﬁsh folding bike has been

exposed to water or grit, or at least

every 100 km / 60 miles, clean the bike

by wiping it clean and lightly oil the chain

with a dry lubrication or a synthetic

based chain lube. It is important to

wipe off excess oil. After every cleaning,

lubricate the brakes. Drop a drop of oil

onto the cable end on the caliper brake

and wipe off excess oil.

Immediately after washing: dry and oil

the drive train components, the chain

and brake pivot points.

Do NOT add grease to the outside of the

seatpost because the seatpost shim is plastic.

Do NOT lubricate the buttons and round ‘Pull

Release’ stopper.

STORAGE

Store your Bigﬁsh folding bike under

shelter, keep it in a dry location away

from the weather and the sun. Avoid

leaving it in the rain or exposed to

corrosive materials.

Before storing your Bigﬁsh folding bike

for a long period of time, clean it well.

Deﬂate the tyres to half pressure and

hang it off the ground. Please notice

that your warranty does not cover rust,

corrosion, paint damage or theft.

SPARE PARTS

It is recommended to use only

appropriate spare parts (tyres, tubes,

brake-friction components ...). If you

are not conﬁdent about what size or

type of component you require as a

replacement, seek advice from your

Bigﬁsh dealer or contact us at info@

bigﬁshbike.com.
