BICYCLE COMPONENTS (continued)
Tires
Inflate your tires to the pressure embossed on the sidewall before the first use
of your new bike. The recommended tire pressure for the Shadow is 40-PSI.
Every time you ride, make sure that the tires are inflated according
to pressure indicated on tire sidewall
. Improper tire pressure will cause
excessive wear, causing premature replacement. Low tire pressure will also
make riding more difficult. The tire should be properly seated in the rim and
the fitting of the tire bead and rim bead should be checked. If the tube is
pinched between the tire and the rim, it will fail when inflated. Ensure that the
tire is not cracked or unevenly worn. Check for bulges. Check that the valve is
straight in the rim. Irregular tires should be replaced immediately.
Handlebar and display
We have created and designed this handlebar assembly so that everything you
need is within easy reach and sight while riding. To adjust the height of your
handlebar, loosen the stem binder bolt by turning it counterclockwise 4 or 5
turns with your Allen wrench. Adjust the height position as desired, and
remember to align the stem with the wheel before retightening the stem bolt.
Make sure you cannot twist the handlebars after tightening.
CAUTION: LOOSE OR DAMAGED GRIPS ON YOUR HANDLEBARS
ARE DANGEROUS. IF YOUR GRIP COMES OFF, YOU COULD
LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR BICYCLE. A GRIP WITH THE END
MISSING CAN ALLOW HANDLEBARS TO SERIOUSLY INJURE A
RIDER DURING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE CHECK THAT BOTH
HANDLEBAR ENDS ARE PLUGGED. BE SURE THAT YOUR GRIPS
ARE IN GOOD REPAIR AND SECURELY GLUED OR FASTENED TO
THE HANDLEBARS.
Brakes
Riding with brakes that are damaged, have worn brake shoes or cables, or are
on wheels that are in poor condition or damaged may result in losing control of
your bicycle. Wet weather detracts from brake performance. You will require
more distance to stop safely in the rain or on a wet or icy street. Check to be
sure the brake cables are not wrapped tightly, and are free of obstructions. It
is important to check that your brakes work properly before operating your
vehicle. Test before every use.
