1.2. Before Every Ride
Check the following points before you set off:
a. Are the quick-release levers of the front and rear wheel properly
closed? For more information on how to use quick-releases see chapter
“Wheel Fastening with Quick-Releases”.
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.
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 Require-
ments 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.
Before Every Ride
b. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure?
Check the pressure with a manometer or a stand pump with indicator.
For more information see chapter “The Wheels“.
c. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. Watch the gap
between brake pad and rim, which should remain the same over the
entire rim circumference. Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres
with ruptured sides or broken axles or spokes. For more information
see chapter “The Wheels“.
d. Test the brakes while standing by firmly pulling brake levers towards
the handlebars. The brake pads must hit the rim with their entire sur-
face. They must not touch the tyres. You should not be able to pull the
lever all the way to the handlebars! For more information see chapter
“The Brake System“.
g. Various parts of your new bicycle, such as
the chain drive, always need to be well lu-
bricated. Make sure not to dirt your clothes
and protect your trousers with a trouser clip
whenever you set off on your bicycle.
Danger:
Improperly closed quick-re-
leases 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 rider’s 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. Components 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 com-
ponents.
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.
