4. SAFETY CHECK
WARNING! Before the first ride and routinely thereafter before each ride,
perform the below safety check as well as any additional safety checks
outlined in the Owner's Manual, to ensure the bicycle is safe to ride. Failure
to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury.
1: Nuts, bolts, screws, and other fasteners:
Ensure the seatpost, stem, handlebar, and
wheels are properly tightened. You can check the tightness of the handlebar, stem, and
seatpost by securing the bicycle between your legs and trying to twist, push, and pull the
handlebar and saddle with a moderate amount of force. The handlebar and saddle should
not move. If any of the components move, realign the part, increase the bolt tension, and
try again. Repeat as necessary until there is no movement. Periodically check all the bolts
on the bicycle to make sure they are tight.
2: Seatpost:
Ensure the saddle height is correct and the seatpost clamp bolt is properly
tightened.
3: Tires and wheels:
Ensure the wheels spin freely and do not wobble. The wheels should
be centered in the frame and fork. If the wheels wobble and are not centered, please see
you Authorized Specialized Retailer.
4: Tire pressure:
The tires must be inflated and periodically checked and re-inflated using
a pump with an accurate pressure gauge. Please refer to the Tires and Tubes section of the
Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual supplied with your bicycle for additional information.
5: Headset:
The headset and stem should be pre-adjusted and aligned out of the box. If
the headset is loose or the stem is misaligned, please visit your Authorized Specialized
