Quick Release Levers
It is important to check the quick release levers before every ride to ensure all connections
are made properly and securely. Periodically, disassemble the mechanism from the
bicycle and inspect for any wear or damage and replace if necessary. When reinstalling,
it is very important to ensure the connections are made properly. (Please refer to
p. 29-30 for the appropriate assembly instructions.)
Reflectors (bicycles over 16”)
Your bicycle is supplied with one front (white), one rear (red), two wheel (white), and
four pedal (orange) reflectors. These are an important safety and legal requirement,
and should remain securely fitted and in good, clean conditions at all times. Periodically,
inspect all reflectors, brackets and mounting hardware for signs of wear or damage.
Replace immediately if damage is found. Front and rear reflectors should be adjusted
to within 5 degrees of vertical. This is measured by looking at the bicycle from the side
while it is on flat ground. If the reflectors are out of line, adjust as necessary and be
sure all fasteners are tight. (Fig. 4.20, 4.21)
