WARNING: Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear. Ask your dealer
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
loose control and fall.
Brakes: Check the brakes for proper operation (see Section 4.C). Squeeze
the brake levers. Are the brake quick-releases closed? All control cables seated
and securely engaged? 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 at the levers without having them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes
need adjustment. Do not ride the bike until the brakes are properly adjusted by a
professional bicycle mechanic.
Wheelretentionsystem: Make sure the front and rear wheels are
correctly secured. See Section 4.A
Seatpost: If your seat post has an over-center cam action fastener for
easy height adjustment, check that it is properly adjusted and in the locked
position. See Section 4.B.
Handlebarandsaddlealignment: Make sure the saddle and handlebar
stem are parallel to the bike’s center line and clamped tight enough so that you
can’t twist them out of alignment. See Sections 3.B and 3.C.
Handlebarends: Make sure the handlebar grips are secure and in
good condition, with no cuts, tears, or worn out areas. If not, have your dealer
replace them. Make sure the handlebar ends and extensions are plugged. If
not, have your dealer plug them before you ride. If the handlebars have bar end
extensions, make sure they are clamped tight enough so you can’t twist them.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can
cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged handlebars or
extensions can cut you and cause serious injury in an otherwise
minor accident.
VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
Please also read and become thoroughly familiar with the important
information on the lifespan of your bicycle and its components in Appendix
B on Page 43.
