Duke 600 Frequently Asked Questions

1. BB5 disc brakes are easier to rub.

Solution: Generally speaking, if the tire makes abnormal noise, it means the tire is rubbing against the disc, that is, the disc brake is too tight or tilted slightly. Turn the red knob next to the disc brake slightly until it stops rubbing against the disc. You can also go to a specialty store to find a technician to adjust it.

2. The original pedals are ball pedals, which will make abnormal noises when water enters.

Solution: Better pedals are not expensive, you can buy them and replace them yourself.

3. For the FORMULA quick-release aluminum alloy disc brake hub, if the normal sound of the hub disappears or becomes uneven after water enters the hub, problems may occur in the hub transmission during riding, and in severe cases, locking may occur.

Solution: Pay attention to maintenance.

4. Some gears rubbed against the chain during riding.

Solution: Adjust the high and low limit bolts or adjust the knob next to the thumb dial. If you don't know how to adjust it, it is recommended to find someone who knows how to adjust it or go to a local store to adjust it.

5. The problem of 2 on 3 on the market.

Solution: Changing gears from 2 to 3 is actually not that serious. Changing gears from 2 to 3 is not as easy as many cars.
