Separate maintenance for different parts of the exercise bike
1. Crank: If the crank is used for a long time, it is necessary to check whether the crank screw is loose. If loose, reinforce it in time.
2. Dial: Keep the dial tidy and clean. When the battery is used up, replace it to prevent the battery from oxidizing and damaging the dial.
3. Frame: Wipe off the sweat on the frame after each ride. Doing this can make the bicycle more durable (be careful not to wipe it with a wet cloth to avoid rusting).
