Before Your First Ride
1. If you want to use your bicycle on public roads, it has to comply with the
respective legal requirements. These regulations differ from country to country.
Therefore, bicycles are not necessarily fitted completely. Ask your STEVENS
dealer for the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the country
you intend to use the STEVENS bicycle. Have your STEVENS bicycle equipped
accordingly, before using it on public roads.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system? Have a look at the bike card and check
whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you are used to (right
or left). If it is not, ask your STEVENS dealer to switch the brake levers before
you set off for the first time.
Your new bicycle is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more
powerful than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the
brakes on a level, non-slip surface off public roads!
For more information see chapter “The Brake System” further below and in
your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the
component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears? Ask your STEVENS
dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with your new
gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see chapter “The Gears” further below and in your
comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the
component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
4. Are both saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set
to a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with
your heel. Check whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sitting on
the saddle.
For more information see chapter Adjusting the STEVENS Bicycle to the
Rider” further below and in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as
well as in the instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed
CD-ROM.
Danger:
Be aware that the dis-
tance you need to stop
your bicycle increases,
when you are riding
with your hands on aer-
odynamic handlebars,
on bar ends or on multi
position handlebars.
The brake levers are
not always within easy
reach.
5. If your STEVENS bicycle is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals: Have you
ever tried the shoes they go with? Do not set off until you have practised
engaging and disengaging the shoes from the pedals in stationary. Ask your
STEVENS dealer to explain you the pedals.
For more information see chapter “The Pedal Systems” in your comprehen-
sive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component
manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
6. If you have bought a STEVENS suspension bicycle, you should ask your
STEVENS dealer to adjust the suspension mechanism to your needs before
delivery. Improperly adjusted suspension components are liable to malfunction
or damage. In any case they will impair the performance of your bicycle as well
as your safety and joy whilst cycling.
For more information see chapters “Suspension Forks” and “Full Suspen-
sion of the Mountain Bike Models” further below and in your comprehensive
STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manu-
facturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
Caution:
Before towing a trailer
with your STEVENS
bicycle or mounting a
child carrier, have a look
at the bike card and
contact your STEVENS
dealer.
Danger:
In case you had a crash with your STEVENS bicycle, perform at least the
check described in chapter “Before Every Ride“. Ride back very carefully
by taking the shortest route possible, even if your STEVENS bicycle went
through this check without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard
and do not ride your bicycle out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have
yourself picked up by car, instead of taking any risk. Back home you need
to check once again your STEVENS bicycle thoroughly. If you are in doubt
or if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.
Note:
It is recommendable that you take out a private liability insurance. Contact
your insurance agency. Becoming member in a bicycle association may
also provide insurance coverage.
