7.1.2.b. After every long or hard ride or after 10 to
20 hours of riding:
• Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike forward and back.
Everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or
backward movement of the bike, you probably have a loose headset.
Have your dealer check it.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side to side.
Feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the steering,
you may have a tight headset. Have your dealer check it.
• Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away from the centerline of
the bike; then do the same with the other pedal. Anything feel loose?
If so, have your dealer check it.
• Take a look at the brake shoes. Starting to look worn or not hitting
the wheel rim squarely? Time to have the dealer adjust or replace
them.
• Check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust? Kinks?
Fraying? If so, have your dealer replace them.
• Inspect the tire tread and sidewalls. Any damage? Cuts?
Embedded particles? If so, have your dealer replace them.
• Check wheel rim and braking surfaces for wear or damage. Wear
indicator gone? Any dents? If so, have your dealer replace them.
• Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel
between your thumb and index finger. Do they all feel about the
same? If any feel loose, have your dealer check the wheel for
tension and trueness.
• Check the frame, particularly in the area around all tube joints, the
handlebars, the stem and the seatpost for any deep scratches,
cracks or discoloration. These are signs of stress-caused fatigue and
indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be
replaced.
• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secure,
and tighten any that are not.
WARNING: Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its
components are subject to wear and stress. Different materials and
mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have
different life cycles. If a component's life cycle is exceeded, the
component can suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing serious
injury or death to the rider. Scratches, cracks and discoloration are
signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of
its useful life and needs to be replaced.
7.1.3. As required:
If either brake lever fails the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 4.3):
restore brake lever travel on cable-actuated braking systems by
turning the brake cable adjusting barrel counterclockwise, then lock
the adjustment in by turning the barrel's lock nut clockwise as far as it
will go. If the lever still fails the Mechanical Safety Check, have your
dealer check the brakes.
