2.2 Bike safety testing
WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and their components more complex, and
the pace of innovation is increasing. This constant evolution means it is impossible for this manual
to provide all the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order
to minimise the chances of an accident and possible injury, it is essential that you have any repair
or maintenance which is not specifically described in this manual performed by your Mondraker
dealer. It is equally important to remember that your individual maintenance requirements will be
determined by everything from your riding style to geographic location. Consult your dealer for
help in determining your maintenance requirements.
WARNING: Correct tightening force on fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws – on your bicycle is important.
Too little force and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much force and the fastener can strip
threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening force can result in component
failure which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Before riding your bike it is essential that you quickly check its safety systems and releases. They may have
come loose on your previous ride or you might have forgotten to tighten them after taking the bike apart
to transport it.
Every bolt and nut mounted on the bike has its specific torque value. The correct tightening force or torque
cannot be generalised for all these parts. Normally the manufacturer indicates the recommended torque
values on its component. Nevertheless, below are the standard torque values of every component.
