could come into contact with the frame causing the wheel to 
stop suddenly. This can throw a rider off the bicycle or result in 
a loss of control and crash.

FRAME CLEARANCE (10 mm) WITH ALL 

AIR RELEASED FROM LEFTY AND FULLY 

COMPRESSED.

 

Measure between the top of the properly inflated tire (1) and 
the bottom of the fork steerer (2).
