5/Suspension; 6/Maintenance Of Reflector - Decathlon BTWIN User Manual And Guarantee

Is it raining or wet?
In this case, be even more careful. The risks in braking increase and the adheren-
ce of your tires on the road is reduced. Also remember that the visibility of motor
vehicles is reduced in bad weather.
Are your pedals properly tightened?
Check that your pedal is properly tightened to the crank. Read the section on how
to fix your pedals. IV 2/
How do clipless pedals function?
Engage and disengage your shoes in the pedals before leaving. Experienced
cyclists do this. The interface between the toe clip and the pedal may be affected
by different factors like dust, mud, lubrication, spring tension and wear. By enga-
ging and disengaging, you check operation and you familiarise yourself with the
feeling of the pedals.
CAUTION: Check the distance between the toe end and front wheel, this
could lead to a loss of control of the bike.

5/Suspension

See the instructions that you can check our website www.decathlon.com.
Even greater care should be taken with bicycles fitted with a telescopic fork; parti-
cularly telescopic forks assembled with fixing screws.
Each time, you should check that there is no play
and the assembled parts. If this was the case, see exclusively a professional or your
store to have them tightened as they will have to be covered with thread lock before
tightening.
Warning : Disconnection from the fork may cause the cyclist to fall.

6/Maintenance of reflector

Your reflectors are an important part of your bicycles safety equipment. Do not
remove the reflectors from your bicycle; they are here for your safety.
Every three months, make sure all the nuts and bolts holding the front, rear, pedal,
and wheel reflectors are tightened. Check that the front and the rear reflector are
oriented so that their reflective surfaces are perpendicular to the ground and that
all reflective surfaces are clean and in good condition. The front reflector should
point directly forward, and the rear should point directly backward. The rear
reflector should be at least three inches below the top of the seat.
To adjust the front and rear reflectors, bend the metal bracket, or loosen the
attachment screw on plastic brackets, reposition, and then re-tighten the screw.
