WARNING! Before the first ride and routinely thereafter before each ride, perform the below safety check as well as any additional safety checks
outlined in the Owner’s Manual to ensure the bicycle is safe to ride. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury.
1. Nuts, bolts, screws, and other fasteners: Ensure the seatpost, stem, and handlebar are properly tightened. You can check the tightness of the handlebar, stem, and seatpost by
securing the bicycle between your legs and trying to twist, push, and pull the handlebar and saddle. The handlebar and saddle should not move. If any components move, realign
the part, increase the bolt tension, and try again. Repeat as necessary until there is no movement. Periodically check all the bolts on the bicycle to ensure they are torqued to
specification using a torque wrench.
2. Seatpost: Ensure the saddle height is appropriate. Adjust as necessary.
3. Tires and wheels: Ensure the wheels spin freely and do not wobble. The wheels should be centered in the frame and fork. If the wheels wobble and are not centered, please
contact Rider Care or visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
4. Tire pressure: The tires must be inflated and periodically checked and re-inflated using a pump with an accurate gauge. Please refer to the Tires and Tubes section of the
Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual supplied with your bicycle for additional information.
5. Brakes: The brakes are pre-adjusted and aligned out of the box. If the brake pads or arms are misaligned, please contact Rider Care or visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Check the brake pads periodically for wear. Brake pads should be replaced once they wear down to the wear line. If the brake pads need to be replaced, but you do not have
experience replacing brake pads, please contact Rider Care or visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer. Test the brakes by lifting one end of the bicycle at a time, spinning each
wheel, and squeezing the brake lever. If the brakes are not working correctly, please contact Rider Care or visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Regularly inspect the bicycle to ensure there is no damage to any of the components. Replace any worn or damaged components or have them
replaced by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
