Storage
Keep your bicycle in a dry location away from the weather and the sun.
Direct sunlight may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to
crack. Before storing your bicycle for a long period of time, clean and
lubricate all components and wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half
pressure and hang the bicycle off the ground. Don't cover with plastic as
"sweating” will result which may cause rusting. Please notice that your
bicycle warranty does not cover paint damage, rust, corrosion, dry rot or
theft.
Security
It is advisable that the following steps be taken to prepare for and help
prevent possible theft.
Maintain a record of the bicycle’s serial number, generally
1.
located on the frame underneath the bottom bracket or on the
head tube.
Register the bicycle with the local police.
2.
Invest in a high quality bicycle lock that will resist hack saws
3.
and bolt cutters. Always lock your bicycle to an immovable
object if it is left unattended.
