Final Check
- After all adjustments have been made, shift through every
gear several times at varying speeds. This will ensure all
your adjustments are correct and will allow you to pinpoint
any trouble areas. If you encounter any problems, refer to
the appropriate section and make any necessary adjustments.
- Check the tire pressure and inflate each tube to the recommended
psi as stated on the sidewall of the tire.
- Check that the kickstand operates smoothly and the
kickstand bolt is secured tightly.
- Finally, examine the bicycle. Make sure all accessories are
attached and all quick releases, nuts and bolts have been
tightened securely.
- Correct maintenance of your bicycle will ensure many years
of happy riding. Service your bicycle regularly by referring
to the relevant sections of this manual, OR take it to a
professional bicycle shop.
Remember: Always wear a helmet and obey all
traffic laws.
Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum
pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall.
Exceeding the recommended pressure
may blow the tire off the rim, which
could cause damage to the bicycle and
injury to the rider and bystanders.
Tighten both rear wheel axle nuts or the
quick release mechanism securely. Failure
to do this may cause the rear wheel to
dislodge from the frame dropouts resulting
in serious damage or injury.
