5. SERVICE
WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and
bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation
is increasing. It is impossible for this manual to provide all
the information required to properly repair and/or maintain
your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an
accident and possible injury, it is critical that you have any
repair or maintenance which is not specifically described in
this manual performed by your dealer. Equally important is that
your individual maintenance requirements will be determined
by everything from your riding style to geographic location.
Consult your dealer for help in determining your maintenance
requirements.
WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special
knowledge and tools. Do not begin any adjustments or service
on your bicycle until you have learned from your dealer how
to properly complete them. Improper adjustment or service
may result in damage to the bicycle or in an accident which
can cause serious injury or death.
If you want to learn to do major service and repair work on your bike:
1. Ask your dealer for copies of the manufacturer’s installation and
service instructions for the components on your bike, or contact
the component manufacturer.
2. Ask your dealer to recommend a book on bicycle repair.
3. Ask your dealer about the availability of bicycle repair courses
in your area.
We recommend that you ask your dealer to check the quality of your
work the first time you work on something and before you ride the
bike, just to make sure that you did everything correctly. Since that
will require the time of a mechanic, there may be a modest charge
for this service.
