IV—Maintenance

2 Cleaning your bike

After your ride, wash your bike with soapy water (liquid dish 

soap is recommended for its ability to remove grease without 

damaging the bike). Avoid using high-pressure washers if 

possible. If you have to use one, avoid directing the stream 

directly at the joints and bearings (for full-suspension models).

Dry your bike with a soft cloth in order to avoid rust and 

corrosion. While carefully drying your entire bike, you will also be 

able to inspect all the different parts and detect any potential 

problems.

Before storing your bike in a clean and dry place, lubricate the 

drivetrain parts with an appropriate product. You can also take 

this time to control the brakes, see if the wheels are deformed, 

and check for any play.

3 Worn parts

Always keep an eye on component parts that receive a lot of wear 

and tear (especially the brakes) in order to avoid any risks. If you 

have any doubts, you can check the manual from the component 

manufacturer or check with your Lapierre 

™

 authorized dealer. It’s 

better to prevent than to heal, so never wait until the last minute!

List of consumable parts :

— Braking components (pads, rims),

If you have a problem with your bike, take it to your

™

The dealer will perform an initial diagnosis, and then  

only he can send the bike back to our factory for a 

warranty claim.
