V. MAINTENANCE
Directing your Front Headlight:
Your headlight beam should be angled slightly
downwards. This will help you to notice fast approaching road hazards, and to
avoid blinding oncoming traffic. To adjust the angle of the front light, loosen
the bolt on the side of the headlight with a metric H4 Allen wrench. When
retightening, be sure to refer to the
Torque Specifications
on p.75.
Installing The Headlight On Your Front Rack:
If your bicycle has a front rack
installed, you have an alternative mounting point for your headlight. Follow the
front rack installation directions, or have a licensed bicycle mechanic install the
light for you.
SELECTOR
If clicking through the different Selector modes feels abnormally stiff or difficult,
contact a licensed bicycle mechanic for service. Always tighten your selector bolts
to the recommended torque specifications (p.75) when making adjustments.
ACCESSORIES
FRONT RACK
Light load? With a maximum load capacity of about 22
pounds (10kg), the Faraday’s unique front rack is an
optional accessory that can easily be installed. Transform
your bike into the ultimate grocery getter or picnic table.
Refer to the Front Rack installation manual for more information.
PRO TIP:
If you want to mount the headlight to the Front Rack, detailed
instructions can be found on our website,
www.faradaybikes.com
.
WARNING:
Install all screws to their torque specifications, and secure
the rack mount head tube screw with a threadlocker such as Loctite™.
Incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, which can
cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING:
Carrying objects that obstruct your vision or your complete
control of the bicycle, or which could become entangled in the moving
parts of the bicycle, may cause you to lose control and fall. Take extra
care with oversized loads on your front rack.
REAR RACK
Our optional rear rack is a cargo-hauling jack-of-all-trades
that’s custom-designed to match your Faraday in fit and
finish. Carry any standard U-lock securely and easily in the
built in lock-loop, or attach panniers or a basket to haul up
to 45 pounds (20kg).
FENDERS
Your Faraday comes stock with either a high-quality set of steel or bamboo
fenders. When life gives you puddles, go ahead and ride right through them.
