Introduction and Maintenance
The Sneaker system is pretty much maintenance free, although for optimum benets, we
recommend the following light maintenance once or twice a year depending how heavily it’s used:
- When the pipes become heavily worn, a light sanding with some ne grit sandpaper will restore
a nice smooth nish. Although a worn pipe does not aect the functionality of the Sneaker.
- We recommend some light lubrication on the threads of the Knobs, Kipp handles and Sneaker
Base mounting holes. A simple, spray protectant/lubricant like WD-40 or Tri-Flo would prevent corro-
sion and keep moving parts smooth and operational. The wheels will eventually gather dust and
dirt depending on the conditions. A yearly cleaning and lubrication of bearings will keep the
wheels rolling and swiveling at peak performance.
All builds pictured in this manual use 4 Knobs
to attach the Base Flange to the Sneaker Base.
However, through eld-testing, we nd that
using only 2 Knobs is perfectly adequate for
this purpose. Also, working with 2 Knobs
instead of 4 greatly quickens conversion times.
So feel free to use 2 Knobs whenever attaching
the Base Flange to the Sneaker Base. However,
4 knobs should always be used when attaching
the Seat Flange to the Sneaker Seat.
