WARNING
Many bicycle service and repair tasks require
special knowledge and tools.
Do not begin any adjustments or service on
your bicycle until you have learned from your
dealer how to properly complete them.
Improper adjustment or service may result in
damage to the bicycle or in an accident which
can cause serious injury or death.
If you want to learn to do major service and
repair work on your bike, you have three options:
1. Ask your dealer for copies of the
manufacturer’s installation and service
instructions for the components on your
bike, or contact the component
manufacturer.
2. Ask your dealer to recommend a book on
bicycle repair.
3. Ask your dealer about the availability of
bicycle repair courses in your area.
We recommend that you ask your dealer to
check the quality of your work the first time
you work on something and before you ride
the bike, just to make sure that you did
everything correctly. Since that will require
the time of a mechanic, there may be a
modest charge for this service.
We also recommend that you ask your
dealer for guidance on what spare parts,
such as inner tubes, light bulbs, etc. it
would be appropriate for you to have once
you have learned how to replace such parts
when they require replacement.
