NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this manual in its entirety before your first ride. At the very least, read and

make sure that you understand each point in this section, and refer here for any issue which you don’t completely

understand. Please note that not all bikes have all the features described in this manual. Ask your local stockist to

point out the features of your bike.

A. Bike Fit

1. Is your bike the right size? To check, see Section 3.A. If your bike is too large or too small you may lose control

and fall. If your new bike is not the right size, ask your stockist to exchange it before you ride it.

2. Is the saddle at the right height? To check, see Section 3.B. If you adjust your saddle height, follow the Mini-

mum Insertion instructions in Section 3.B.

3. Are saddle and seat post securely clamped? A correctly tightened saddle will allow no saddle movement in

any direction. See Section 3.B.

4. Are the stem and handlebars at the right height? If not, see Section 3.C.

5. Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, you may be able to adjust their angle and reach. See Section

3.D and 3.E.

6. Do you fully understand how to operate your new bike? If not, before your first ride, ask your stockist to

explain any functions or features you do not understand.

B. Safety First

1. Always wear an approved helmet when riding your bike, and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for

fit, use and care.

2. Do you have all the other required and recommended safety equipment? See Section 2. It’s your responsibility

to familiarize yourself with the laws of the areas where you ride, and to comply with all applicable laws.

3. Do you know how to correctly secure your front and rear wheels? Check Section 4.A.1 to make sure. Riding

with an improperly secured wheel can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bike, and cause

serious injury or death.

4. If your bike has toe clips and straps or clipless (“step-in”) pedals, make sure you know how they work (see

Section 4.E.) These pedals require special techniques and skills. Follow the pedal manufacturer’s instructions

for use, adjustment and care.

5. Do you have “toe overlap”? On smaller framed bikes your toe or toe clip may be able to contact the front

wheel when a pedal is all the way forward and the wheel is turned. Read Section 4.E. to check whether you

have toe overlap.

6. Does your bike have suspension? If so, check Section 4.F. Suspension can change the way a bike performs.

Follow the suspension manufacturer’s instructions for use, adjustment and care.

7. Placing fingers in or around the chain area risks entrapment and injury.

C. Mechanical Safety Check

Routinely check the condition of your bicycle before every ride.

Nuts, bolts, screws & other fasteners: because manufacturers use a wide variety of fastener sizes and shapes

made in a variety of materials, often diering by model and component, the correct tightening force or torque

cannot be generalized. To make sure that the many fasteners on your bike are correctly tightened, refer to the

Fastener Torque Specifications in Appendix D of this manual or to the torque specifications in the instructions

provided by the manufacturer of the component in question. Correctly tightening a fastener requires a calibrated

torque wrench. A professional bicycle mechanic with a torque wrench should torque the fasteners on your bike. If

you choose to work on your own bike, you must use a torque wrench and the correct tightening torque specifica-

tions from the bike or component manufacturer or from your stockist. If you need to make an adjustment we urge

you to exercise care, and to have the fasteners checked by your stockist as soon as possible.

WARNING : Correct tightening force on fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws – on your bicycle is important. Too little

force, and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much force, and the fastener can strip threads, stretch,

deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, which can cause you

to lose control and fall.

Make sure nothing is loose. Lift the front wheel o the ground by two or three inches, then let it bounce on the

ground. Does anything sound, feel or look loose? Do a visual and tactile inspection of the whole bike. Are there

any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to check.

Tyres and wheels: Make sure tyres are correctly inflated (see Section 4.G.1.) Check by putting one hand on the

saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at

tyre deflection. Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tyres are correctly inflated; and adjust

if necessary. Are the tyres in good condition? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall.

Replace damaged tyres before riding the bike. Are

the wheels “true”? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and lateral wobble. If a wheel wobbles side

to side even slightly, or rubs against the brake pads, take the bike to a qualified bike stockist to have the wheel

corrected.

CAUTION : Wheels must be true for rim brakes to work eectively. Wheel trueing is a skill which requires

special tools and experience. Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge, experience and

tools needed to do the job correctly.

Wheel rims clean and undamaged? Make sure the rims are clean and undamaged at the tyre bead and, if you have

rim brakes, along the braking surface. Check to make sure that any rim wear indicator marking is not visible at any

point on the wheel rim.

WARNING : Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear. Ask your stockist about wheel rim wear. Some wheel rims

have a rim wear indicator which becomes visible as the rim’s braking surface wears. A visible rim wear indicator

on the side of the wheel rim is an indication that the wheel rim has reached its maximum usable life. Riding a

wheel that is at the end of its usable life can result in wheel failure, which can cause you to lose control and

fall.

Brakes: The brakes need to be set up according to the correct countries law. It’s very important to your safety that

you learn and remember which brake lever controls which brake on your bike. Traditionally in the UK, the right brake

lever controls the front brake and the left brake lever controls the rear brake; but, to ensure that your bike’s brakes

are set up correctly, squeeze one brake lever and look to see which brake, front or rear, engages. Now do the same

with the other brake lever.

Check the brakes for proper operation (see Section 4.C.) Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brake quick-releases

closed? Are all the control cables in place? If you have rim brakes, do the brake pads contact the wheel rim squarely

and make full contact with the rim? Do the brakes begin to engage within an inch of brake lever movement? Can

you apply full braking force without the levers touching the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not

ride the bike until the brakes are properly adjusted by a professional mechanic.
