8 Before every ride
Although a great deal of care has been taken during
production and assembly, parts may still come loose
or change function during transportation for example.
You should therefore always check the following be-
fore every ride:
•
Bell and lighting are working properly and se-
curely fastened
•
Brake system is working properly and securely
fastened
•
If a hydraulic brake is fitted to your bike, make
sure the lines and connections are tight
•
Check the tyres and rims for damage and foreign
bodies and check the wheel runs true, especially
after riding offroad
•
Sufficient tread depth on the tyres
•
The suspension elements are in working order
and are securely fastened
•
Screws, nuts and quick-release devices are se-
cure
•
Frame and fork for deformation and damage
•
Handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost and saddle
in the correct position and safely and properly
secured
If you are not sure whether your bike is in a technical-
ly sound condition, do not ride it and have it checked
by a professional bike workshop instead.
