Check the seat and seatpost
Make sure the seat is secure by attempting to turn the seat and seatpost in the frame,
and attempt to move the front of the seat up and down. It should not move or be loose.
Check the lights and reflectors
Make sure the lights are functioning correctly and that any batteries are charged. If the
lights use a dynamo, make sure it is mounted correctly and all attachment hardware is
tight. Make sure reflectors are clean and in position.
Check frame, fork, and components
Carefully inspect your frame, fork, and components for signs of fatigue before and after
each ride. Regularly inspect your entire bicycle for signs of fatigue stress:
• Dents
• Cracks
• Scratches
• Deformation
• Discoloration
• Unusual noises
Even if you perform regular inspections, if you exceed the limit of strength of your
bicycle or a given part, it may fail if overloaded. After any high force load, thoroughly
inspect all the parts of your bike. High force loads include crashes, but you don't have
to crash to put a high force load on your bike. For example, hitting a large hole in the
road or a sharp bump such as a railroad track can put large forces on your bike.
The manner in which you ride will determine whether your bike and its parts will last. If
you ride hard or aggressively, you should replace the bike and/or its parts more often
than riders who ride smoothly or cautiously. There are many variables: weight, speed,
technique, terrain, maintenance, riding environment (humidity, salinity, temperature,
etc.), and the frame or part itself- so it is impossible to give a precise timetable for
replacement. If you aren't sure, ask your dealer. But as a rule, it is better to err on the
safe side and replace the bike or parts more frequently.
