Pedals; Brakes - Biomega BOS Manual

ADJUSTING A-HEADSET
If your handlebar is resisting when you are turning, it is probably because your A-headset is too tight. In that case you should loosen the stem clamp
bolt and turn the A-headset tension bolt (situated on top of the stem) counter clockwise, but be careful not to loosen it too much as that will give loos-
en the A-headset system. Remember not to operate headset-tension bolt unless the stem clamp bolts have been loosened. Retighten all loose bolts.
WARNING! To avoid injury, always ensure that the stem and handlebar are positioned and tightened properly before riding the bicycle.

PEDALS

The pedals are clearly marked with "L" for left and "R" for right on the threads. The right pedal is assembled in a clockwise direction, using a 15mm
wrench. The left pedal is assembled in a counter-clockwise direction. The pedals are not interchangeable. Tighten well, but do not use excessive force.
Always make sure the pedals are tightly screwed onto the crank arm to avoid losing control and causing injury to you and the bicycle.

BRAKES

Biomega bikes are equipped with quality Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. We recommend you study the Shimano disc brake manual found inside the
box with your bike.
WARNING: Always check your brakes before you ride your bike. Ensure that they are working properly. Failing to do so may result in injury and serious
damage.
Disc brakes have powerful braking ability and should be used with moderation and care. Never use unnecessary force to pull your brakes when you
are riding. Please note that the disc can get very hot and should not be touched immediately after use. Never use anything else than water to rinse
your brakes. Never use soap, oil or any other kind of lubricant.
CLEANING YOUR BRAKES
The braking performance will be severely reduced if the disc rotor and pads become contaminated with oil, brake fluid or non-approved degreasing
and cleaning agents. Clean your brake with water or approved brake-cleaners, which can be purchased from most bike shops.
If the disc rotor becomes contaminated it can be cleaned by wiping with a rag with isopropyl alcohol. Heavily contaminated brake pads will need
replacing.
For all other inquiries, adjustment and maintenance of the Shimano brake please consult ww.shimano.com or your local bike dealer.
Without a thorough knowledge of the procedure do not try to bleed your brakes or change the hose.
