PART II
SECTION G.
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
WARNING
FOLLOW THIS CHECKLIST BEFORE EVERY RIDE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO SUSPECT THAT
YOUR BICYCLE IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY,
DO NOT RIDE IT.
Have it inspected by an Authorized Cannondale
Retailer. To locate your nearest Authorized
Cannondale Retailer call 1-800-BIKE-USA. Failure
to follow this checklist and to have any potential
problem inspected could lead to an accident, with
risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.
Are you wearing a helmet and other appropriate
equipment and clothing, such as protective glasses
and gloves? Do not wear loose clothing that could
become entangled in the bicycle (See PART I, Section
2.A The Basics).
Are your seatpost and stem securely fastened?
Twist the handlebars firmly from side to side while
holding the front wheel between your knees. The
stem must not move in the steering tube. Similarly,
the seatpost must be secure in the seat tube (See
PART I, Section 3. Fit).
Are you visible to motorists? If you are riding at
dusk, dawn or at night, you must make yourself
visible to motorists. Use front and rear lights and
a strobe or blinker. Reflectors alone do not provide
adequate visibility. Wear reflective clothing (See
PART I, Section 2.E Night Riding and PART II, A.
Important Safety Information).
Is it raining or wet? If so, be more cautious. Your
braking distances will increase, and your tires’ grip
on the road will decrease. Remember that motorists’
visibility decreases with bad weather (See PART
I, Section 2.D Wet Weather Riding and PART II, A.
Important Safety Information)
Are your tires properly inflated? Tires must inflated
to the recommended pressure.
(See PART I, Section 4.G Tires and Tubes).
Are your wheels true? Lift each end of the bike and
spin each wheel. Does the space between the rim
and the brake pads, or the tire and the frame, remain
nearly the same size as the wheel turns? Are your
spokes tight? (See PART I, Section 1.C Mechanical
Safety Check).
Are your wheels’ quick-releases properly fastened?
Be sure to read the section on proper operation
of quick-release skewers (See PART I, Section 4.A
Wheels).
Are your front and rear brakes functioning
properly? With V-brakes, the quick release “noodle”
must be properly installed. With cantilever brakes,
the quick release straddle cable must be properly
attached. With caliper brakes the quick release lever
must be closed. With any rim brake, the brake pads
must make firm contact with the rim without the
brake levers hitting the handlebar grip (See PART I,
Section 4.C Brakes).
With hydraulic disc brakes, check that the lever feels
firm, does not move too close to the handlebar grip,
and there is no evidence of leaking brake fluid. With
cable actuated disc brakes, check that the lever feels
firm and does not move too close to the handlebar
grip. With any disc brakes, the brake pads must
make firm contact with the rotor without the brake
levers hitting the handlebar grip (See PART I, Section
4.C Brakes).
How do your clipless pedals work today? Clip in and
out of your pedals before you begin. Experienced
cyclists do. The connection between cleat and pedal
is aected by dozens of factors including dirt, mud,
lubrication, spring tension and wear. By clipping in
and out you will check the function and have a fresh
memory of how they feel (See PART I, Section 4.E
Pedals).
How recently were your frame, fork and
components inspected? Never ride a frame, fork or
components with any crack or damage. (See PART II,
- Section D. Inspect For Safety)
