IMPORTANT:
This manual contains important safety, performance and service information.
Read it before you take the first ride on your new bicycle, and keep it for
reference. Additional safety, performance and service information for specific
components such as suspension or pedals on your bicycle, or for accessories
such as helmets or lights that you purchase, may also be available. Make sure
that your dealer has given you all the manufacturers’ literature that was
included with your bicycle or accessories. In case of a conflict between the
instructions in this manual and information provided by a component
manufacturer, always follow the component manufacturer’s instructions. If you
have any questions or do not understand something, take responsibility for
your safety and consult with your dealer or the bicycle’s manufacturer. NOTE:
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, service, repair or
maintenance manual. Please see your dealer for all service, repairs or
maintenance. Your dealer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or
books on bicycle use, service, repair or maintenance.
GENERAL WARNING
Like any sport, cycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to
ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to
know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of
proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces
risk of injury. This Manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure to
follow safe cycling practices. Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may
lose control and fall”. Because any fall can result in serious injury or even
death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can
occur while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of
the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of
any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole
responsibility of the rider.
