I General User Manual 11

7 Before the rst ride

Make sure that your bike is ready for use and is set up

for your body size.

Check the following:

• Positioning and secure fastening of saddle and

handlebar

• Installation and correct adjustment of the brakes

• Secure fastening of wheels in ame and fork

Adjust the handlebar and stem until you nd a safe

and comfortable riding position. Instructions on how

to adjust the handlebar are provided in

Chapter 9.3

"Adjusting the handlebar position".

Adjust the saddle until you nd a safe and comfort-

able riding position. Instructions on how to adjust the

saddle are provided in

Chapter 9.2 "Adjusting the

seat position".

Make sure the brake levers are always within easy

reach and that you know how to operate the right/

le brake levers and where to nd them. Make a note

of which brake lever operates the ont and which the

rear wheel brake.

Modern brake systems can have a far more powerl

and dierent braking eect than those you are already

familiar with. Before setting o, familiarise yourself

with the eects of the brakes on a safe trac-ee

area.

If you are using a bike with carbon-bre rims, bear

in mind that the braking behaviour of this material is

much poorer than aluminium rims.

Make sure that the wheels are securely fastened in the

ame and forks. Check that the quick-release device

and all important fastening screws and nuts are se-

curely fastened.

Chapter 9.2.2 "Operating the quick-release device"

contains instructions on how to operate quick-release

devices safely and

Chapter 30 "Technical data" con-

tains a table of the tightening torques for important

screws and nuts.

Check the tyre pressure. Information on the pre-

scribed tyre pressure appears on the tyre sidewall.

Never inate the tyres to less than the minimum or

more than the maximum specied tyre pressure. As a

rule of thumb, e.g. when on the road, you can check

the tyre pressure as follows: If you press your thumbs

into the inated tyre, there should not be much give

in the tyre even if you press hard.

Check the tyres and rims for damage, foreign bodies,

e. g. glass agments or sharp stones and deformation.

If cuts, cracks or holes are visible, do not ride o. In-

stead, take your bike to a professional bike workshop

and have it checked.
