2. Wheels and spokes are straight and true with the hubs correctly adjusted and free from side play.
3. Front and rear brakes operate correctly.
4. Steering is free with no excess play and the handlebar is free from damage.
5. Tires are in good condition and inflated to the pressure shown on the sidewalls.
6. Gears are correctly adjusted.
7. Pedals and pedal cranks are securely tightened.
8. All nuts and bolts are tight.
9. Suspension is adjusted properly and suited to your cycling style.
10. Your riding position is comfortable.
