Before Every Ride
Your STEVENS bicycle has undergone numerous tests during production and
a final check has been carried out by your STEVENS dealer. Nevertheless, be sure
to check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to
the transport of your STEVENS bicycle or to changes a third person may have
performed on your bicycle before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers or the bolted connections of the front and rear
wheel, the seat post and other components properly closed and tightened?
For more information see chapter “How to Use Quick-Releases and Thru
Axles” further below and in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as
well as in the instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed
CD-ROM.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure? The
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side.
For more information see chapter “The Wheels” in your comprehensive
STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manu-
facturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. Watch the gap between
rim and brake pad or, in the case of disc brakes, between frame and rim or
tyre. Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with ruptured sides or broken
axles or spokes.
For more information see chapter “The Wheels” in your comprehensive
STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manu-
facturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the
handlebars. The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with their
entire surface without touching the tyre during braking or in open condition or
in between. Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the han-
dlebars and check the hydraulic brake cables for leaks. Check the thickness of
the brake pads, as well.
With disc brakes you should directly get a positive braking response. If you
have to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking
response, have the STEVENS bicycle checked by your STEVENS dealer.
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.
5. Let your STEVENS bicycle bounce on the ground from a small height. If there
is any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolts, if nec-
essary.
6. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your STEVENS bicycle is
equipped according to the regulations of your country. Riding without lights
and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous A lighting set that
corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the lights as
soon as dusk sets in.
For more information see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on
Public Roads” in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual on the enclosed
CD-ROM.
7. In case you have a STEVENS bicycle with suspension, press down on your
STEVENS bicycle and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as
usual.
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.
8. Make sure the kick-stand, is fully raised before you set off. Risk of falling!
9. Do not forget to take a high quality folding, D- or chain lock with you on your
ride. The only way to effectively protect your STEVENS bicycle against theft is
to lock it to an immovable object.
Danger:
Be aware that the dis-
tance you need to stop
your bicycle increases,
when you are riding with
your hands on aero-
dynamic handlebars,
on bar ends or on multi
position handlebars.
The brake levers are
not always within easy
reach.
Danger:
Do not use your
STEVENS bicycle, if
it fails on one these
points! Riding a defec-
tive STEVENS bicycle
can result in serious
accidents! If you are in
doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your
STEVENS dealer.
Danger:
During use your STEVENS bicycle is undergoing stress resulting from the
surface of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic
loads, the different parts of your bicycle react with wear and fatigue.
Check your STEVENS bicycle regularly for wear marks, scratches,
deformations, colour changes and any indication of cracking. Compo-
nents which have reached the end of their service life may break without
previous warning. Let your STEVENS dealer maintain and service your
STEVENS bicycle regularly and in cases of doubt it is always best to
replace components.
Danger:
Improperly closed
quick-releases and
other fastenings can
cause components of
your STEVENS bicycle to
come loose and result in
serious accidents!
