Owner’s Responsibility
Before riding your Montague, carefully
follow all assembly instructions.
Ensure your bike is the correct size for
your comfort and safety. When standing
over the frame (straddle frame) you
should have a minimum of 1.0” clearance
between the top tube and your body. See
page 12 for more information.
Note: Montague does not make
bicycles intended for children. Please
make sure all riders are adults.
Bicycle riding can be a hazardous
activity even under the best of
circumstances. Proper maintenance of
your bicycle is your responsibility as it
helps reduce the risk of injury.
All quick releases must be securely
fastened before riding any Montague
bicycle. The quick releases are pictured
on page 11 in Fig. 2. They are: the front
wheel quick release (#25), the seat
post quick release (#8), the frame quick
release (#9), the rear wheel quick release
(#32), and the stem quick release (#4).
For instructions on operating the quick
release levers, read Assembling Your
Montague Bicycle and Folding Your
Montague Bicycle on pages 26-37.
Double check to ensure all bolts and
screws are tightened to the correct
torque specifications.
Make sure anyone to whom you loan
your Montague understands how to work
the quick release levers and how to fold
and unfold your Montague bike properly.
The owner is responsible for required
normal maintenance services, such
as those listed in the “Maintenance
Schedule” section of this booklet (page
61) in order to keep the bicycle in good
operating condition.
