WARNING:
Many bicycle service
and repair tasks require special
knowledge and tools. Do not begin
any adjustments or service on your
bicycle until you have learned from your
bike shop how to properly complete
them. We recommend that significant
mechanical repairs be carried out by
a qualified bicycle mechanic. Improper
adjustment or service may result in
damage to the bicycle, or an accident
that can cause serious injury or death.
Your safety depends on the correct
maintenance of your bicycle. If a
repair, adjustment, or software update
is not specifically listed in this manual,
only your bike shop should make
that repair.
After any repair or accessory
installation, check your bicycle
as shown in the
Before every
ride
section.
Parking, storing, and
transporting your bike
Prevent theft
Do not park your bicycle unless you
secure it to a fixed object with a bike
lock that resists bolt cutters and
saws. For an e-bike, lock the battery
in place and remove the controller,
if applicable.
Register your bicycle online (see
section
Register your bike
). Record
the serial number in this manual and
put the manual in a safe location.
Park or store your bike
safely
Park your bicycle where it cannot fall or
roll away. Any fall can cause damage
to your bicycle or property around you.
Incorrect use of a bicycle parking
rack could bend your wheels, damage
brake cables, or in the case of e-bikes,
damage electric system cables.
Do not rest your bicycle on its
derailleurs. The rear derailleur could
bend or dirt could get on the drivetrain.
Protect your bike from the elements
when possible. Rain, snow, hail, and
even direct sunlight can damage your
bicycle frame, finish, or parts.
Before you put away your bicycle for
an extended time, clean and service
it and apply frame polish. Hang your
bicycle off the ground with the tires at
approximately half the recommended
inflation pressure.
Please see the supplemental Electric
Bicycle Owner’s Manual for proper
battery storage.
Protect your bike’s finish
The finish or paint on your bicycle can
be damaged by chemicals (including
some sports drinks) or abrasive
contact. Dirt can scratch or remove
paint (and even frame material)
especially where a cable rubs or a
strap is placed around a tube. Use
adhesive padding to prevent rubbing in
critical spots.
Avoid excessive heat
Excessive heat may damage the joints
of frame parts. Do not exceed 65°C
(150°F) exposure to your bicycle. The
interior of a car parked in the sun can
reach this temperature.
