CHECK THE TIRES
Use a tire pump with a gauge to make sure the tires are inflated within the recommended pressure range. Do
not exceed the pressure limit as stated on the side of the tire or rim; whichever is lowest.
NOTE: It is better to use a hand or foot pump than a service station pump or an electric compressor. The latter is
more likely to over-inflate, which can cause the tire to blow out.
CHECK THE CABLES
Make sure all cables and housings are properly secured to the frame or fork so that they cannot interfere with or
get caught on moving parts.
CHECK REFLECTORS, LIGHTS, AND ACCESSORIES
Check that the reflectors are clean and positioned perpendicular with the rim.
CHECK THE PEDALS
Make sure your pedals and shoes are clean and free of debris that could affect your grip or interfere with the
pedal system.
Grab your pedals and crank arm and wiggle to see if there is anything loose. Spin the pedals to make sure they
rotate freely.
CHECK THE BRAKES
While standing still, make sure you can apply full braking force without the brake lever touching the handlebar.
(If the lever touches, your brakes may need adjustment.)
For hand brakes, check that the front wheel brake is working properly. Ride the bike at a slow speed and
gradually apply the front wheel brake. The bike should come to a complete stop. Repeat the process with the
rear wheel brake.
WARNING: Brake force applied to the front wheel suddenly or too forcefully could lift the rear wheel off the
ground. This could decrease your control and cause you to fall. For best results, gradually apply both
brakes at the same time.
For coaster brakes, start with the back pedal crank slightly higher than horizontal. Apply pressure downwards on
the back pedal. When you move the pedal downward, the brake should engage.
CHECK THE CHAIN
Make sure your chain has the correct tension so that it can’t fall off. There should be between 6-12mm
(0.25-0.50 in) total vertical movement in the middle of the chain, see the diagram under the Chain Maintenance
section.
Check that the chain has no kinks, rust, broken pins, plates, or rollers.
