Before using your bicycle for the first time, you must check that all adjustments have been
correctly made.
• Check that the front and rear brakes work, check brake pads for wear.
• Check the cables and sheaths and that the hydraulic system functions correctly.
Wheels and Tires
• Check tires are inflated to the pressure indicated (either in Bar or Psi) on the tire
sidewall.
• Check that the tires are in good condition and are free from cuts or bulges.
• Check the state of wheel rims and ensure that spokes are correctly tightened.
• Check that the wheels are correctly fitted to the bicycle, either by a quick-release
system or nuts.
WARNING
:
If a wheel rim or spokes are damaged, immediately replace
the wheel.
Steering

with the wheel and the fork.
• Check that the steering clamp is correctly tightened and adjusted in the right direction.
