USER’S MANUAL

Revision of September 2008

WARNING:

Bicycling 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In many of the

subsequent warnings in the manual we mention a risk of loss of control or

falling. Please understand that those events could lead to very serious injury or
death. Because

any

loss of control or fall could result in serious injury or

death, we do not repeat the warning of injury or death whenever we mention
the risk of loss of control or falling.

Terminology

This illustration provides terminology used in the rest of the manual.
