A CAUTION
Wheels must be true for rim brakes to work effectively. Wheel truing is a skill which requires special tools
and experience. Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge, experience and tools
needed to do the job correctly.
►
Wheel rims clean and undamaged? Make sure the rims are clean and undamaged at the tire bead and, if
you have rim brakes, along the braking surface. Check to make sure that any rim wear indicator marking
is not visible at any point on the wheel rim.
WARNING
Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear. Ask your dealer about wheel rim wear. Some wheel rims have a
rim wear indicator which becomes visible as the rim’s braking surface wears. A visible rim wear indicator
on the side of the wheel rim is an indication that the wheel rim has reached its maximum usable life.
Riding a wheel that is at the end of its usable life can result in wheel failure, which can cause you to lose
control and fall.
BRAKES
► Check the brakes for proper operation (see “Brakes”). Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brake quick-
releases closed? All control cables seated and securely engaged? If you have rim brakes, do the brake
pads contact the wheel rim squarely and make full contact with the rim? Do the brakes begin to engage
within an inch of brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force at the levers without having
them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not ride the bike until the brakes are
properly adjusted by a professional bicycle mechanic.
