Changing Components Or Adding Accessories - Flash FLASHV1 User Manual

WARNING: Bicycles and bicycle parts have limitations with
regard to strength and integrity, and this type of riding can
exceed those limitations.
We recommend against this type of riding because of the
increased risks; but if you choose to take the risk, at least:
• Take lessons from a competent instructor first.
• Start with easy learning exercises and slowly develop
your skills before trying more difficult or dangerous rid-
ing.
• Use only designated areas for stunts, jumping, racing or
fast downhill riding.
• Wear a full face helmet, safety pads and other safety
gear.
• Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on
your bike by this kind of activity may break or damage
parts of the bicycle and void the warranty.
• Take your bicycle to your dealer if anything breaks or
bends. Do not ride your bicycle when any part is dam-
aged.
If you ride downhill at speed, do stunt riding or ride in com-
petition, know the limits of your skill and experience. Ulti-
mately, avoiding injury is your responsibility.
G. Changing Components or Adding Accessories
There are many components and accessories available to
enhance the comfort, performance and appearance of your
bicycle. However, if you change components or add ac-
cessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle's manu-
facturer may not have tested that component or accessory
for compatibility, reliability or safety on your bicycle. Before
installing any component or accessory, including a different
size tire, make sure that it is compatible with your bicycle by
checking with your dealer. Be sure to read, understand and
follow the instructions that accompany the products you
purchase for your bicycle. See also Appendix A.
WARNING: Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install,
operate and maintain any component or accessory can
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Changing the components on your bike with
other than genuine replacement parts may compromise
the safety of your bicycle and may void the warranty.
Check with your dealer before changing the components
on your bike.
