GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
14
ENGLISH
The brake rotors must be installed on wheels that are suitable for this type of brake system.
A wheel with an insufficient spoke section or with radial spoke lacing can break under normal
use of the braking system and cause serious injury, accident or death. Check with your wheel
manufacturer BEFORE installation to ensure compatibility.
Check the spoke tension and condition frequently. A damaged spoke may break suddenly and
interfere with the braking system. This may result in serious personal injury, accidents or death.
WARNING — Before every ride, make sure there are no fluid leaks in the system by applying the
lever and holding it down as far as it will go. Check the hose connections and the brake fluid
reservoir for any leaks. Consult a professional mechanic if there are fluid leaks. A fluid leak can
cause a serious accident or death.
CAUTION — Braking distances may be greater in wet weather and using the brakes improperly
can make you lose control, fall and cause an accident.
Test the brakes and your braking technique on flat and even ground before using the bike in
more severe conditions.

Gear system
If you cannot change gear cleanly, you need to make adjustments to the gear system on the
shifting level housing. Gradually unscrew the adjuster on the shifting lever housing with your
fingers and check the functioning of the gears after each turn.
One some systems, to be able to turn the adjuster, you need to pull it out of position slightly.
Make sure that it is back in position before you check the functioning of the gears. If you cannot
adjust the gear shifting using this method, the system must be checked by the professional
bike mechanic.
Suspension – basics
WARNING — Improperly installed, maintained or adjusted components are extremely
dangerous and could result in severe and/or fatal injuries. If you have any questions about the
installation of these components, consult a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Recommended tire pressure
The tire pressure is an important factor for riding your bike properly. If the tire pressure is
too high, the tire will not conform to the ground, reducing traction. It is important to have an
accurate pressure gauge when setting the tire pressure; preferably a digital gauge with a 0.03
[bar] (0.5 [psi]) accuracy.
The recommended tire pressure will vary slightly based on rider weight, riding style, and terrain.
Some riders may find it helpful to start a ride at a slightly higher pressure than recommended and
let out a little air throughout the course of the ride until they find their ideal riding tire pressure.
