sharing the road and your tires can lose their grip. Therefore, it is more di-

cult to control your speed and you may lose control easily in such conditions.

To make sure that you are able to reduce speed and come to a stop safely

in wet conditions, try to ride more slowly and start braking earlier and more

gradually than you would under normal dry conditions.

Bicycle Suspension

If your bicycle has been equipped with any sort of a suspension system, make sure you

read and follow the suspension set up and service instruction manual provided by the

manufacturer. If you haven’t been provided the manufacturer’s instruction manual, con-

tact your dealer or the manufacturer.

WARNING: Failure to maintain, check and properly adjust the suspension sys-

tem may cause suspension malfunction, in result of which you may lose control

and fall.

If your bicycle has been equipped with suspension, the increased speed you may de-

velop will also increase the risk of injury. For example, when braking, the front of a bicycle

with a suspension fork dip. You can easily lose control and fall if you are not prepared for

this. Please, learn how to operate your suspension system safely.

WARNING: Introducing changes in the suspension adjustment can alter the han-

dling and braking characteristics of your bicycle. It is forbidden to change the

suspension adjustment unless you are thoroughly familiar with the suspension

system manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations; you should always

check for changes in the handling and braking characteristics of the bicycle af-

ter the suspension has been adjusted by taking a careful test ride in a safe area.

Thanks to the use of suspension the wheels can follow the terrain better, which can en-

hance control and comfort. This improved capacity may provide opportunity for riding

faster, but you should be careful not to mistake the enhanced capabilities of the bicycle

for your own riding skills. Improving skills takes time and practice.

CAUTION: Not every bicycle can be safely retroﬁtted with certain types of suspension

systems. Before planning to retroﬁt a bicycle with any suspension system, check with

the bicycle’s manufacturer to make sure that the modiﬁcation you are going to make is

compatible with the bicycle’s design. Failure to do so can result in damage to the frame

and your bicycle may be diﬃcult to control due to improper geometry that results from

the modiﬁcation.

IMPORTANT: make sure your wheels function properly before each use, check if the

mounting bolts are secure, check that the freewheel engages correctly. If there is any

malfunction of the hubs, they should not be used under any condition. In case of any
