1.2. Before Every Ride
Check the following points before you set off:
a. Are the quick-release levers, thru axles or the bolted connections
of the front and rear wheel, the seat post and other components
properly closed and tightened? For more information on how to use
quick-releases see chapters “Wheel Fastening with Quick-Releases”
and “Wheel Fastening with Thru Axles.
d. Test the brakes while standing by firmly pulling brake levers towards
the handlebars. The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim with
their entire surface. They must not touch the tyres. With disc brakes
the wheels must be fully blocked when pulling the brake lever in sta-
tionary with little manual force. You should not be able to pull the
brake lever of disc or rim brakes all the way to the handlebars! For
more information see chapter “The Brake System“.
e. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your bicycle is equipped
according to the regulations of your country. Riding without lights
and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous because
you will be seen too late or not at all by other road users. Turn on
the lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see chapter
“Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads”.
f. Let your 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 necessary.
g. If your bicycle has suspension, check it as follows: Press down on your
bicycle and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as
usual.
h. If your bicycle has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised before you
set off. Risk of falling!
i. Various parts of your new bicycle, such as the chain drive, always
need to be well lubricated. Make sure not to dirt your clothes and
protect your trousers with a trouser clip whenever you set off on your
bicycle.
Before Every Ride
b. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure?
Do a thumb test. For more information see chapter “The Wheels”.
c. 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”.
Danger:
Improperly closed quick-re-
leases or thru axles can
cause components of your
bicycle to come loose and
result in serious accidents!
Danger:
During use your bicycle is
undergoing stress resulting
from the surface of the road
and through the riders
action. Due to these dynamic
loads, the dierent parts of
your bicycle react with wear
and fatigue. Please check
your bicycle regularly for
wear marks as well as for
scratches, dents, bent parts
and incipient cracking. Com-
ponents which have reached
the end of their service life
may break without previous
warning. Let your STEVENS
dealer maintain and service
your bicycle regularly and in
cases of doubt it is always
best to replace components.
Danger: Do not use your bicycle, if it fails on one these
points! If you are in doubt, ask your STEVENS
dealer for help. Riding a defective bicycle can result in serious accidents!
Note: Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain
lock with you on your ride. The only way to ef-
fectively protect your bicycle against theft is to lock it to an immovable
object.
