Pre-ride steps
A — Mechanical safety check
Routinely check the condition of your bicycle before every ride.
Nuts, bolts screws & other fasteners:
Because Gi Fly employs a wide variety
of fastener sizes and shapes made in a variety of materials, often differing by model
and component, the correct tightening force or torque cannot be generalized. You
may visit your local bike shop to make sure that the many fasteners on your bicycle
are correctly tightened. A professional bicycle mechanic with a torque wrench should
tighten the fasteners on you bicycle. We recommend that you do not work on Gi Fly. If
you need to make an adjustment at home or in the field, we urge you to exercise care,
and to have the fasteners you worked on checked by your dealer or local bike shop as
soon as possible.
Anything loose? Lift the front wheel off the ground by two or three inches, then let it
bounce on the ground. Anything sound, feel, or look loose? Do a visual and tactile
inspection of the whole bike. Any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If
you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to check.
Tires in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall.
Replace damaged tires before riding the bike.
Wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble.
If a wheel wobbles side to side even slightly, or rubs against or hits the brake pads, take
the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the wheel trued.

Wheel trueing is a skill which requires special tools and experience.
Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge,
experience, and tools needed to do the job correctly.
Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear. Ask your dealer or local
bike shop about wheel rim wear. Some wheel rims have a rim wear
indicator which becomes visible as the rim’s braking surface wears.
A visible rim wear indicator on the side of the wheel rim is an
indication that the wheel rim has reached its maximum usable
life. Riding a wheel that is at the end of its usable life can result in
wheel failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Warning
Warning
The wheels are securely fastened when torque force is equal to
60 Nm for the front wheel and 50 Nm for the back wheel. Please
be considerate of this specification and use the proper tools to
achieve this torque. If necessary, see your local bike mechanic.
