Importance the Test Ride
We urge you to take your new bike on careful test rides in a safe protected area in your
neighborhood before riding in trac or taking a longer ride on the road or trails. Before the first
of these rides double check that the front wheel is properly attached to the fork. Use and buckle
up your helmet.
Your goals are:
Become familiar with how the brakes feel and work. Use the brakes, gently at first, then
progressively harder. As described in the Owner’s Manual, use caution and do not use the
front brakes too hard.
Shift though all the gears, up and down. Anticipate hills and shift before pedaling gets too
hard. After shifting is complete, is the bike quiet in all gears?
How do you fit on the bike? Is the seat too high or too low? As described in the Owner’s
Manual, you want your knees to be slightly bent at the bottom of each pedal stroke. Take
short test rides, stop and adjust seat height. Once you have height dialed in, you may want to
adjust seat angle.
How do the controls and your hands and arms feel? The entire handlebar assembly including
the brake and shifter levers can be easily rotated to where they feel comfortable and easy to
reach. See the section in these instructions regarding the stem face plate.
Next ride over some small bumps or rough pavement. Does the bike make any noises? Does
anything feel loose? A well set up bike will be very quiet.
