Your dealer is here to help you get the bike and accessories which are most appropriate for the kind of riding that you intend to do; and to help you maintain your equipment so that you can get the maximum enjoy- ment from it. Your bike shop's staff has the knowledge, tools and expe- rience to give you reliable advice and competent service. Your dealer carries the products of a variety of manufacturers so that you can have the choices which best meet your needs and your budget.
But your dealer's staff can't make decisions for you; nor can they assume responsibility for your lack of knowledge, experience, skill or common sense.They can explain to you how something works, or what part or accessory will meet your special needs, but they can't know your questions or your needs unless you tell them.
If you have a problem with your bike or your riding, talk to your dealer. Make sure that the dealer understands your problem or question, and make sure that you really understand the answers.
