HANDLEBARS AND STEM CHECK
Handlebars and stem are very important components in terms of your riding safety.
Damage to them and mistakes during assembly can lead to very severe falls. If you
discover any faults with these parts or have doubts about them you must under no
circumstances continue to use your bike. Contact a specialist workshop immediately.
1. Check the handlebar and stem assembly. The stem must be parallel to the front wheel rim,
and the handlebars must be at right angles to it. Grip the front wheel between your legs. Grip
the handlebars at both ends. Try to twist the handlebars in either direction by hand. Try to
twist the handlebars in the stem by hand. It must not be possible to twist or slide any of the
parts. There must be no audible creaking or rattling sounds.
HANDLEBAR-MOUNTED PARTS CHECK
Grip the front wheel between your legs. Try to twist the
gearshift/brake levers out of position by hand. Try to pull the
handgrips from the handlebars (straight handlebars only). It must
not be possible to twist or slide any of the parts. There must be no
audible creaking or rattling sounds. In case a bell has been fitted to
the handlebar, it must easily be reached with a finger or a thumb
and it must not be possible to move it.
SUSPENSION FORK CHECK
To verify if the suspension fork is operational lock the front wheel
using the brake and press your weight on the handlebar until it
compresses and release the handlebar from the weight of your
body. The fork should compress and decompress with ease and
without generating any noise.

1. Checking the brakes
is done with the bike standing still and brake levers operated until there
is a contact firmly between the caliper / pads and rim / disc (between brake lever and grip
