Load Limits - Whyte 905 Instruction Manual

WARNING: A rim wear indicator provides an indication that
the wheel rim has reached its maximum usable life. Riding a
wheel that is at the end of its usable life can result in wheel
failure, which can cause you to loose control and fall.
◊
Brake function. Squeeze the brake levers. Can you apply full braking force at
the levers without having them touch the handlebar? Try to move the bike for-
wards with the brake levers squeezed. Are the wheels locked? If not, then the
brakes are not working properly. Do not ride the bike until you have consulted
your Whyte dealer.
◊
Wheels attachment. Ensure the front and rear wheels are correctly secured to
the fork and frame, respectively (See also page 15).
◊
Secure seat post. If your seat post has an quick-release clamp fastener for easy
height adjustment, check that it is properly adjusted and in the locked position
(See also page 6).
◊
Handlebar and saddle alignment. Make sure the saddle and handlebar stem are
parallel to the bike's center line and clamped tight enough so that you can't
twist them out of alignment. If they are not, do not ride the bike until you have
consulted your Whyte dealer.
◊
Handlebar grips are tight. Twist the handlebar grips to confirm they will not
move. Make sure there is a plug in each end of the handlebars.
WARNING: Loose or damaged stem, handlebars, grips or
extensions can cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged
handlebars or extensions can cut you and cause serious injury
in an otherwise minor accident.
◊
Condition of frame, handlebar and stem. Carefully inspect the frame, handlebars
and stem for signs of fatigue: scratches, cracks, dents, deformation, or
discoloration. If any part shows signs of damage or fatigue, replace the part
before riding the bicycle.
◊
Suspension settings. Check that the suspension components are adjusted to suit
your riding style. Suspension should not be so compressed that there is no
further suspension movement remaining, as this could damage your bicycle and
make the bike difficult to ride (See page 27).
◊
Condition of reflectors, lights and bell. For reflectors and lights to work effec-
tively, they must be clean. Check batteries are charged, if fitted in lights. Ring
the bell to make sure it works.
