3.4 Handlebar and Cockpit

Headset
Make sure that the headset bolt is tightened firmly and that there is no play
between the head tube and triple clamps when suspending the forks.

3.5 Suspension

Read the Öhlins manual at www.ridecake.com/manuals to change the
factory settings for your bodyweight and riding style. If the bike is not used
for longer periods of time, the fork might start leaking oil. This is due to
that the rubber gaskets dry up. It's therefore recommended not to let your
bike stand for too long periods at a time. Make sure that the linkage has no
damage. Make sure that all bolts on the linkage is firmly tightened.

3.6 Drivetrain and Chain

Chain
Check that the chain is in good condition. It's advised to clean your chain
and applying chain lubricant when needed in order to prolong the lifetime
of your chain. Check that the chain has correct tension. The chain gets
longer as the bike is being used and will needed to be tensioned with time.
It should have a total play of 20mm. Check the video instructions on
www.ridecake.com/manuals to ensure that you tension the chain correctly
if you are unsure how to do it. If done incorrectly, it's easy to misalign the
whole wheel which is dangerous and can lead to a crash.
