Suggestions of the manufacturer, related to safe use of bicycles:
1. Before starting the ride, always check the technical condition of the bicycle:
• Correct brake operation
• Air pressure in wheels (14,5 PSI = 1 bar = 1 kg/cm2 = 100 000 Pa). Follow the range of pressure values defined by the manufacturer, listed on the side of the tyre; the tyre should
always be mounted according to the direction indicated on its side (an arrow shows the direction of rotation); tyre state, lack of deformations, breaks, tightness of the tyre and rim
• Wheel installation, installation of handlebars and its support (whether it rotates)
• Seat installation (whether it rotates)
• Lighting operation (whether the ride takes place under limited visibility or after dusk)
• Bell operation
• Rim wear – if the safety groove on the sides of the rim becomes invisible, the rim must be replaced (applies to aluminium rims with a groove), remember that the friction generated
during breaking causes rim wear. When rim shear reaches certain critical point, the rim may break under the pressure of the tyre. Contact your seller or ASO and ask them about
checking the remaining rim thickness when you will use the second set of brake pads, at the latest (applies both rims with and without the groove).
