If possible, ride on familiar routes.
If riding in traffic:
•
Be predictable. Ride so that drivers can see you and predict your
movements.
•
Be alert. Ride defensively and expect the unexpected.
•
If you plan to ride in traffic often, ask your qualified local bicycle
shop about traffic safety classes or a good book on bicycle traffic
safety.
F. CHANGING COMPONENTS OR ADDING ACCESSORIES
There are many components and accessories available to enhance the
comfort, performance and appearance of your MOZIE bicycle. However,
if you change components or add accessories, you do so at your own
risk. MOZIE may not have tested that component or accessory for
compatibility, reliability or safety on your bicycle. Before installing any
component or accessory, including a different size tire, make sure that it
is compatible with your bicycle by contact MOZIE Bicycles or checking
with your qualified local bicycle shop. Be sure to read, understand and
follow the instructions that accompany the products you purchase for
your bicycle. See also Appendix B.
WARNING: Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install, operate
and maintain any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Changing the components on your bike with other than
genuine replacement parts may compromise the safety of your bicycle and may
void the warranty. Check MOZIE Bicycles before changing the components on
your bike.
V. SAFETY
NOTE:
Correct fit is an essential element of bicycling safety, performance
and comfort. Making the adjustments to your bicycle which result in correct
fit for your body and riding conditions requires experience, skill and special
tools. Always have a qualified bicycle shop make the adjustments on your
bicycle; or, if you have the experience, skill and tools, have your qualified
bicycle shop check your work before riding.
WARNING: If your bicycle does not fit properly, you may lose control
and fall. If your new bike doesn’t fit, contact MOZIE Bicycles to discuss your
options for a return.
A. STANDOVER HEIGHT
1. Diamond frame bicycles (Hugo and Marc)
Standover height is the basic element of bike fit. It is the distance from
the ground to the top of the bicycle’s frame at that point where your
crotch is when straddling the bike. To check for correct standover
height, straddle the bike while wearing the kind of shoes in which you’ll
be riding, and bounce vigorously on your heels. If your crotch touches
the frame, the bike is too big for you. (Don’t even ride the bike around
the block.) A bike which you ride only on paved surfaces and never take
off-road should give you a minimum standover height clearance of two
inches (5 cm).
2. Step-through frame bicycles (Stella and Carolina)
Standover height does not apply to bicycles with step-through frames.
Instead, the limiting dimension is determined by saddle height range.
You must be able to adjust your saddle position as described below in the
Saddle Position Section without exceeding the limits set by the height
of the top of the seat tube and the ”Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum
Extension” mark on the seat post.
B.SADDLE POSITION
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in getting the most
performance and comfort from your bicycle. If the saddle position is not
comfortable for you, see your qualified local bicycle shop.
The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
1. Up and down adjustment.
To check for correct saddle height:
• sit on the saddle
• place one heel on a pedal
• rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down
position and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your saddle height needs to be
adjusted. If your hips must rock for the heel to reach the pedal, the
saddle is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the
pedal, the saddle is too low.
Ask your qualified local bicycle shop to set the saddle for your optimal
riding position and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you
choose to make your own saddle height adjustment:
•
Using the included 5mm hex Allen wrench, loosen seat clamp bolt
on bicycle.
•
Adjust the height of the seat post within the seat tube of the
bicycle, ensuring that the minimum insertion line of seat post is fully
in seat tube and is NOT visible.
•
Tighten seat clamp bolt on bicycle using a 5mm hex Allen wrench.
Tighten to recommended torque level of 110kgf/cm

WARNING
:
If your seat post is not inserted in the seat tube as
described in VI. B. 1 above, the seat post may break, which could cause you to
lose control and fall.
