Repair and Service

WARNING:

-Inspect the bicycle frequently. Failure to inspect the bicycle and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary, can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”.

-Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly worn parts.

-Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and any “Special Instruc- tions”. Parts that are not tight enough can be lost or operate poorly. Overtightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any replacement fasteners are the correct size and type.

-If your frame is aluminum, inspect the bicycle frame carefully and frequently. Aluminum frames can develop very small cracks due to stress, severe shocks, etc. If you see any small cracks, stop riding the bicycle. Have the frame inspected by a qualified professional at a bicycle service shop before riding the bicycle again.

-If your bicycle has a suspension fork, inspect the top of the fork around the welded joints carefully and frequently for very small cracks. If you see any small cracks, stop riding the bicycle. Have the frame inspected by a qualified professional at a bicycle service shop before riding the bicycle again.

NOTE: Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instructions” are not sufficient for you.

Suspension Frame (on some models)

Adjustments

The bicycle may have an adjustable shock-absorbing suspension. You can change the suspension, as you prefer, for a softer or a firmer ride.

To change the suspension:

-For a softer ride, turn the adjusting nut [1] clockwise so the suspension spring [2] is compressed less

-For a firmer ride, turn the adjusting nut counter clockwise so the suspension spring is compressed more.
