CAUTION: Changing the components on your bike may void the | |
warranty. To avoid voiding your warranty, check with your dealer | |
before changing the components on your bike. | |
| The most popular way to improve the performance of a bicycle is to |
| substitute higher priced drivetrain or brake components. Before attempt- |
| ing to upgrade your drivetrain or brakes, make sure that the components |
| you plan to install are fully compatible with the rest of the components |
| on your bike. Your dealer can help you determine component compatibil- |
80 | ity and resolve compatibility conflicts. |
