WARNING/IMPORTANT:
Check the fixture or the position of the tyres particularly
after long downhill routes. Using your bike with the recom-
mended air pressure in the tyres ensures prolonged safety
and lifetime.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The brakes have to be checked when the bicycle is still.
Pull the levers of both brakes towards the handlebar, ensu-
re that the levers do not reach/touch the handlebar as this
could release the brakes.
For hydraulic disc brakes it is not possible to pump with the
brake lever. If not we suggest you to contact your dealer. It
is very important to check frequently the wear limit of the
brake pads.
If you have a coaster brake system, you have to move the
pedal backwards to be sure that the brake starts working
rotating less than 60 degrees.
WARNING/IMPORTANT:
The maintenance of the brake system is fundamental to
avoid serious consequences due to a loss of your bicycle
control.
HANDLEBAR AND STEM.
The handlebar and the stem have to be checked to find
possible effort marks, splits, cracks, bucklings, dents. In
this case the damaged component has to be replaced.
SUSPENSIONS.
The suspensions have to be adapted to the way of riding.
They have never reach the limit switch, to be too compres-
sed, to have a suspension movement or to be blocked due
to a technical problem.
Your bicycle will run differently according to the suspens-
ion functioning when working under strain. For this reas-on
they have to be well adjusted. For your reference there is a
specific using manual only for the suspensions.
