USE OF THIS MANUAL
GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
This manual contains important information aecting
your safety and the proper use of bicycles. It is a
very important manual for every bike we make. It is
organized into two parts:
PART I
Is a generic guide to the proper function and use
of bicycles. This generic information is used by
many bike companies. Most aspects of bicycles are
common or “generic.” PART I of this manual is the
10th edition of the generic manual.
PART II
Contains information specic to GT bicycles and
topics we feel you need to know and understand about
our bikes.
A manual alone cannot teach you how to ride, and a
manual the size of an encyclopedia could not cover
every combination of bicycle, rider and conditions.
Thus, as a reasonable person would expect, the GT
manuals and supplements focus on the bicycle, not
teaching you to ride.
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive use,
service, repair or maintenance manual. It contains
no assembly instructions. This manual is not a service
manual for any parts of your bike. Please see your
dealer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your
dealer may also be able to refer you to classes or books
on bicycle use, and maintenance.
Owner’s Manual Supplements
GT Owner’s Manual Supplements are “supplements”
to this manual providing important additional
model specic safety, maintenance, and technical
information. GT Owner’s Manual Supplements are
not replacements for this or any other manual for your
bike.
You can download Adobe Acrobat PDF versions
of any GT Owner’s Manual or Owner’s Manual
Supplements or Tech Notes from our website. Go to:
