WARNING: If your bicycle has only a coaster brake, ride conservatively. Do not slam on
the coaster bike time after time. A single rear brake does not have the stopping power of
front-and-rear brake systems.
CAUTION: Coaster brake service and adjustment requires special tools and special know-
ledge. Do not attempt to disassemble or service your coaster brake. Take the bicycle to
your dealer for coaster brake service.
Lever operated brakes are activated simply by squeezing the levers on the handlebars.
The more pressure you apply, the more force will be applied to the wheels. Coaster brakes
are activated by turning the cranks backwards. You need to start with the pedal cranks in
a nearly horizontal position, with the front pedal in the 4 o’clock position. You then need
to apply downward foot pressure on the pedal that is in the back. Activation of the brake
will take place after approximately 1/8 rotation. The more downward pressure you apply,
the more braking force, up to the point where the rear wheel stops rotating and begins
to skid.
You should learn a progressive brake modulation technique so that you are able to pre-
cisely and accurately control the amount of braking force with given amount of input.
Instead of applying the force abruptly, it’s better to gradually increase the braking force.
The instant the wheel begins to lock up, slightly release pressure to keep it rotating. You
should learn how much brake pressure is needed for each wheel at different speeds and
on different surfaces.
WARNING: Riding with brakes that have not been adjusted properly, worn brake pads,
or wheels with a visible rim wear constitutes a hazard and can cause serious injury or
death. Too hard or too sudden application of the brakes can cause the wheel to lock up
and make you lose control and fall. Applying the front brake too suddenly or excessively
may result in the rider’s pitching over the handlebars, potentially causing serious injury or
death. Bicycle brakes may be very powerful, especially disc brakes or linear-pull brakes.
You should be extra careful while learning how to operate such brakes and take particular
care while using them.
Drivetrain
If your bicycle has been equipped with a single-speed drivetrain system, or internal gear
hub the chain needs tension to make sure it doesn’t come of the sprocket or chainring.
Before rinding the bike inspect the tention of the chain. If the movement is more than
2 cm up and down the chain needs to be tensioned again. This should be carried out by
your local bike shop. Do not ride a bike with a loose chain. It may cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING: Check tightness of chain & bolts before every ride. The drive train is exposed
to extreme loads. Any looseness or play in drive train may cause damage to particular
elements. Before each ride, check: crankset, rear hub, cassette and freewheel, pedals
and chainrings - crank arm connection. The bicycle should be cleaned and lubricated
with dedicated grease systematically. Chain lubrication depends on weather and terrain
conditions. Water and mud speed up wear of the chain. Clean and lubricate chain after
each ride in wet or muddy conditions. Check if the pedals are properly threaded into
the cranks. Looseness may cause damage of crank thread. Regularly check looseness in
pedals to crankset connection.
Tyres
CAUTION: Check the overall conditions of the tyres, if they are damaged, torn or worn out
you should replace them before riding. Using worn or damaged tyres is dangerous. Make
sure tyres are correctly inflated and are in good shape. Spin each wheel slowly and look
for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged tyres before riding the bicycle.
