This posting details a regular summer 1,000 km service of my Look 555 weekend warrior bike which was completed on January 13, 2011 at 17,645 km.
Item No. | Service Action | Comments |
1 | Cleaning the chain using a Park Tools CM-5 Cyclone Chain Scrubber | Chain was dirty than normal requiring five cleaning cycles. |
2 | Check the condition of the jockey wheels | All okay. |
3 | Cleaning the bike with Nu Finish Car wash with pure orange oil. | All okay. |
4 | Deflating the tyres and checking for wear levels, cuts and embedded foreign objects, e.g., glass. Pick-up embedded foreign objects to minimise likelihood of punctures. | The front Michelin Pro Race 3 has a couple of cuts in but no glass found. The tyre has done 1,028 km.
The rear Continental Grand Prix 4000S “Black Chilli†had a couple of pieces of glass embedded and one wear indicator is fading. Getting close to replacement time. It has done 4,138 km. |
5 | Checking the condition of brake pads. | All okay. |
6 | Checking of chain wear with a Shimano TL-CN41 Chain wear indicator tool. | The Wipperman 10sO chain is wearing well. It has now done 8,039 km. |
7 | Remove the pedals and refit (prevents them seizing up) and adjust the tension. | All okay. |
8 | Check the tension of all bolts and screws on the bike. | All okay. |
9 | Check the condition of the cleats. | New cleats recently fitted so all okay. |
10 | Lube the chain with Rock and Roll Gold chain lube. | All okay. |
