components may be covered by a warranty for a specified period of time by the
manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the product will last the term of the warranty.
Product life is often related to the kind of riding you do and to the treatment to which you
submit the bicycle. The bicycle’s warranty is not meant to suggest that the bicycle cannot
be broken or will last forever. It only means that the bicycle is covered subject to the
terms of the warranty. Please be sure to read Appendix A, Intended Use of your bicycle
and Appendix B, The lifespan of your bike and its components, starting on page 43.
5. As required: If either brake lever fails the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C),
don’t ride the bike. Have your dealer check the brakes.
If the chain won’t shift smoothly and quietly from gear to gear, the derailleur is out of
adjustment. See your dealer.
6. Every 25 (hard off-road) to 50 (on-road) hours of riding: Take your bike to your dealer
for a complete checkup.
B. If your bicycle sustains an impact:
First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best you can. Seek medical
help if necessary.
Next, check your bike for damage.
After any crash, take your bike to your dealer for a thorough check. Carbon composite
components, including fames, wheels, handlebars, stems, cranksets, brakes, etc. which
have sustained an impact must not be ridden until they have been disassembled and
thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic.
See also Appendix B, Lifespan of your bike and its components.
WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle
components, causing them to fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from
stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing loss of control, serious
injury or death.
everything seems fine to you, it’s best to take your bike back to the dealer for a checkup.
Dealers typically suggest you bring the bike in for a 30 day checkup. Another way to
judge when it’s time for the first checkup is to bring the bike in after three to five hours
of hard off-road use, or about 10 to 15 hours of on-road or more casual off-road use.
But if you think something is wrong with the bike, take it to your dealer before riding it
again.
2. Before every ride: Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C)
3. After every long or hard ride; if the bike has been exposed to water or grit; or
at least every 100 miles: Clean the bike and lightly lubricate the chain’s rollers with
a good quality bicycle chain lubricant. Wipe off excess lubricant with a lint-free cloth.
Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to your dealer about the best lubricants and the
recommended lubrication frequency for your area.
4. After every long or hard ride or after every 10 to 20 hours of riding:
• Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike forward and back. Everything feel solid?
If you feel a clunk with each forward or backward movement of the bike, you probably
have a loose headset. Have your dealer check it.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side to side. Feel smooth? If
you feel any binding or roughness in the steering, you may have a tight headset. Have
your dealer check it.
• Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away from the centerline of the bike; then do
the same with the other pedal. Anything feel loose? If so, have your dealer check it.
• Take a look at the brake pads. Starting to look worn or not hitting the wheel rim
squarely? Time to have the dealer adjust or replace them.
• Carefully check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust? Kinks? Fraying? If
so, have your dealer replace them.
• Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel between your
thumb and index finger. Do they all feel about the same? If any feel loose, have your
dealer check the wheel for tension and trueness.
• Check the tires for excess wear, cuts or bruises. Have your dealer replace them if
necessary.
• check the wheel rims for excess wear, dings, dents and scratches. Consult your
dealer if you see any rim damage.
• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secure, and tighten any
which are not.
• Check the frame, particularly in the area around all tube joints; the handlebars; the
stem; and the seatpost for any deep scratches, cracks or discoloration. These are signs
of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs
to be replaced. See also Appendix B.
WARNING: Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its components are subject
to wear and stress. Different materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from
stress at different rates and have different life cycles. If a component’s life cycle is
exceeded, the component can suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing serious
injury or death to the rider. Scratches, cracks, fraying and discoloration are signs of
stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs
to be replaced. While the materials and workmanship of your bicycle or of individual
