replace damaged and worn out elements and adjust immediately when improper func-
tion is noticed. To do this, contact your dealer or the closest authorised bike service.
Remember that improper setup of the brake can cause serious injury or death. Follow
the brake manufacturer’s instructions closely for setup and maintenance. The instruc-
tions are supplied in the box with every bicycle. If you are in doubt about their correct
function, contact your local bicycle shop.
If your bicycle has rim brakes, inspect the rim walls to check if they are not excessively
worn out by the brakes. A groove made by manufacturer on the sidewall of a rim should
always be visible. On rims without a groove/safety mark it is important to check if f the
braking surface has not become deformed by the brake pads. The rims should be re-
placed as soon as a visible deformation of the rim surface occurs.
Control position adjustments
It is possible to adjust the angle and position of brakes and shift controls on the handle-
bars. Ask your dealer to make the necessary adjustments for you. If you choose to adjust
the control lever angle on your own, be sure to re-tighten the clamp fasteners to the
recommended torque (see the manufacturer’s instruction manual).
Cables
Check the brake cables and their housing for kinks, rust, broken strands, or frayed ends.
If you notice any damage, you should ask a bicycle shop to replace the cables immedi-
ately. Damaged cables can seriously impede braking efficiency.
Steering system
The steering system includes: handle bar, stem, headset and fork. All elements should be
connected firmly for riding safety.
WARNING: Proper assembly and functioning of the steering system is critical for
your safety!!!
Your dealer is responsible for proper assembly of the steering system for you. If you wish
to make any adjustments yourself, be warned that incorrect setup can be very danger-
ous and we always advise you to seek professional advice for this! Check the connection
between the handlebars and stem. Try pushing the handlebars up and down - there
should be no movement between these two elements.
All parts of the stem should be regularly checked for damage or cracks. If you find any-
thing suspicious, contact an experienced bike mechanic immediately. A defective steer-
ing system can cause serious injury or death.
Wheels and tires
Check if the wheels are straight (lift the bicycle and spin each wheel - the rim should not
move more than around 1mm to each side). Check if all the spokes are tight by running
your hand around each wheel on both sides. Contact your bicycle dealer to resolve any
