If you suffer a fall, blow or impact, first make sure that you are okay to continue cycling. Do not use the bike if you
are injured and ask for medical assistance if needed.
If you are okay to continue cycling, check the bicycle to make sure that it is in perfect working order:
•
Check that the wheels are firmly secured and that the rims are in the centre of the frame and fork. Turn the
wheels. If they cannot be centred in situ because the gap is too small, separate the brakes from the rim so it can
move freely.
In this case, keep in mind that the braking efficacy will be less.
•
Check whether the handlebars or the front of the frame are twisted or broken. Check that the front is firmly
seated on the fork, holding the front wheel firmly between your legs and trying to twist the handlebars with
respect to the front wheel.
•
Check that the chain is fitted correctly. If the bicycle fell onto the transmission side, check that it is working
properly. Ask for help to place the bicycle on its saddle and change gears. When the chain fits on the largest
cog, check the distance between the gear and the spokes. If the gear or bracket are bent, the first one may
become stuck on the spokes - Danger of falling! The gear, rear wheel or frame may be damaged. Check the
derailleur. If it has shifted, the chain may come off the gear. The bicycle's transmission will become less
effective (also refer to the "Traction" section).
•
Check the saddle, upper tube or the bottom bracket box to make sure that there are no defects.
•
Lift the bicycle slightly and let it drop onto the ground. If there are any noises, inspect the bicycle for any
loose bolts.
•
Inspect the entire bicycle again to check for bent areas, worn finish or cracks.
•
Ride again carefully if no problems have been detected during the inspection. Do not brake or accelerate
suddenly or pedal when going uphill. If you are unsure, wait for a car to pick you up instead of risking an
accident. Once home, you should inspect the bicycle carefully again. If you are still unsure or have any queries,
please contact your nearest BH workshop!
Bent aluminium parts must not be straightened, i.e., they must not be repaired. Even afterwards, there is a high
risk of breakage, especially in regards to the fork, handlebars, front part, chainsets and pedals. Replace them
for greater safety.

If you install a tyre of a different size on your bicycle, check and make sure that there are at least 6 mm between the
tyre and other parts of the frame and fork.

Observe the maximum length between the fork axle and the lower part of the steering tube (axle-to-crown). If this
maximum length is not observed, the frame could be damaged due to withstanding a greater load than that for which
it was designed and may cause serious accidents.

No steering spacers must be fitted above the stem. Otherwise, the materials could be damaged due to withstanding
a greater load than that for which they were designed and may cause serious accidents.

Failure to observe the maximum and minimum seat post insertion dimensions indicated in this manual may cause
a lever effect on the frame. The pressure exerted could damage the frame and cause serious accidents. The warranty
does not cover the damage generated by failing to observe these indications.

This manual specifies the maximum number of steering spacers that can be fitted under the stem. If this maximum
quantity is not observed, the materials could be damaged due to withstanding a greater load than that for which they
were designed and may cause serious accidents.
