requires concentration which can distract your attention and cause you to
lose control and fall. Practice engaging and disengaging clipless pedals in
a place where there are no obstacles, hazards or trafc; and be sure to
follow the pedal manufacturer’s setup and service instructions. If you do
not have the manufacturer’s instructions, see your dealer or contact the
manufacturer.
F. Bicycle Suspension
Many bicycles are equipped with suspension systems. There are many
different types of suspension systems — too many to deal with individually
in this Manual. If your bicycle has a suspension system of any kind, be
sure to read and follow the suspension manufacturer’s setup and service
instructions. If you do not have the manufacturer’s instructions, see your
dealer or contact the manufacturer.
WARNING: Failure to maintain, check and properly adjust the
suspension system may result in suspension malfunction,
which may cause you to lose control and fall.
If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may develop also
increases your risk of injury. For example, when braking, the front of a
suspended bike dips. You could lose control and fall if you do not have
experience with this system. Learn to handle your suspension system
safely. See also Section 4.C.
WARNING: Changing suspension adjustment can change the
handling and braking characteristics of your bicycle. Never
change suspension adjustment unless you are thoroughly
familiar with the suspension system manufacturer’s
instructions and recommendations, and always check for
changes in the handling and braking characteristics of the
bicycle after a suspension adjustment by taking a careful test
ride in a hazard-free area.
WARNING: Getting into and out of pedals with toeclips and
straps requires skill which can only be acquired with practice.
Until it becomes a reex action, the technique requires
concentration which can distract your attention and cause you
to lose control and fall. Practice the use of toeclips and straps
where there are no obstacles, hazards or trafc. Keep the
straps loose, and don’t tighten them until your technique and
condence in getting in and out of the pedals warrants it. Never
ride in trafc with your toe straps tight.
4. Clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”) are another means
to keep feet securely in the correct position for maximum pedaling
efciency. They have a plate, called a “cleat,” on the sole of the shoe,
which clicks into a mating spring-loaded xture on the pedal. They only
engage or disengage with a very specic motion which must be practiced
until it becomes instinctive. Clipless pedals require shoes and cleats which
are compatible with the make and model pedal being used.
Many clipless pedals are designed to allow the rider to adjust the amount
of force needed to engage or disengage the foot. Follow the pedal
manufacturer’s instructions, or ask your dealer to show you how to make
this adjustment. Use the easiest setting until engaging and disengaging
becomes a reex action, but always make sure that there is sufcient
tension to prevent unintended release of your foot from the pedal.
WARNING: Clipless pedals are intended for use with shoes
specically made to t them and are designed to rmly keep
the foot engaged with the pedal. Do not use shoes which do
not engage the pedals correctly.
Practice is required to learn to engage and disengage the foot safely. Until
engaging and disengaging the foot becomes a reex action, the technique
