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.
►
Make sure nothing is loose. Lift the front wheel off the ground by two or three inches, then let it bounce
on the ground. Anything sound, feel or look loose? Do a visual and tactile inspection of the whole bike.
Any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to
check.
TIRES & WHEELS
►
Make sure tires are correctly infated (see “Tires”). Check by putting one hand on the saddle, one on the
intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at tire
defection. Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tires are correctly infated; and
adjust if necessary.
►
Tires in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace
damaged tires before riding the bike.
►
Wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble. If a wheel
wobbles side to side even slightly, or rubs against or hits the brake pads, take the bike to a qualifed bike
shop to have the wheel trued.
