Safety Check
Note: If you have assembled the DUALIE yourself, Standard Bearer Machines recommends you take
the DUALIE to a local bike shop for final tuning and adjustment.
As explained in the unpacking and assembly instruction, Standard Bearer Machines recommends the
DUALIE to be assembled professionally once you receive it. The following ten steps are intended to help
make your first and every ride a safe one.
Note: Standard Bearer Machines tune every Rungu prior to shipping. During shipping, shifters, brakes
and other mechanical parts may move out of alignment.
1.
Make sure you wear a helmet. "Fifty-four percent of bicyclists killed in 2017 were not wearing
helmets. However, helmet use among those killed has remained relatively consistent at 16
percent since 2010."
2
Wear a helmet.
2.
Make sure the stems are tightly clamped to your forks. To do this, stand in front of the Rungu
astride the left wheel facing the steering assembly. Hold both handlebars and try to turn the
steering. The fork and wheel should flex, but the handlebars shouldn’t turn independently of
the wheel you’re bracing. If the other wheel moves when you turn the handl
ebars, STOP. The
stems aren’t tightened enough; Turn the handlebars back to visually align the two front wheels
with handlebars and tighten the two bolts on the back of the stem, where the stem clamps to
the fork. Repeat this step for the right wheel.
3.
Make sure each wheel is fully inserted into its dropout. Look carefully at both sides of the quick
release on each wheel and make sure that the quick release skewer ends are seated inside the
recesses on the bottom of the forks for each fork and inside the slot in the frame of the rear
