To fine tune racing style bicycles fitted with dual control (STI) levers:
- Shift the chain to the largest rear sprocket and the largest chainring.
-Push the left hand inner lever slightly to engage the noise prevention mechanism.
-Turn the cable adjuster mounted on the downtube until the inner chainguide just clears the chain.

REFLECTORS
The reflectors fitted to your bicycle are not only an important safety feature, but a legal necessity as well. Your bicycle should come equipped with one white (front), one red (rear), and two orange (wheel) reflectors. Each pedal should also have two orange reflectors fitted.
As a part of your bicycle maintenance ensure that all reflectors are clean, intact and securely fastened. The front and rear reflectors should be vertically aligned, and the wheel reflectors should be secured opposite the valve within 75mm of the rim.
When riding at night, in addition to the reflectors, the bicycle should also be equipped with powered lights. Reflective tape on the rider’s clothing is also recommended
to increase visibility.

WARNING:
The reflectors and the reflector mounting brackets must not be removed from your bicycle. Doing so may reduce your visibility to other road users, potentially jeopardising your safety. Serious injury or death may result if you are hit by another vehicle unable to see you.
WARNING:
Reflectors should always be used in conjunction with powered lighting when riding at night, at dawn, dusk, or at any other time in poor visibility. Failure to do so is dangerous and may result in serious injury or death.
