FORK
To check proper operation, lock the front wheel by pulling the front brake lever and
compress and decompress the fork for a few times by pushing down the handlebar with
your body weight.
During this process the fork should not generate noise and compress and decompress
easily.
If you experience suspicious noise or malfunction, contact a mechanic or bicycle shop
for inspection and repairs.
HEADSET
Inspect proper operation of headset by holding the front brake on, and gently rock the
bicycle back and forth; if your headset is lose you will feel a knocking through the
handlebar coming from the lower headset cup.
Lift the front of your bicycle off the ground and check if wheel flops from side to side
without your hands on the handlebar; if the steering is slow or does not move from side to
side is means your headset is too tight.
If you suspect any malfunction of the headset, contact a mechanic or bicycle shop for
inspection and repairs.
LIGHT SYSTEM
Check the light system for proper operation and fix urgently any problem. The light system
is one of the most important elements for your safety in traffic and must be maintained in
perfect working order.
If you identify any malfunction of the light system, contact a mechanic or bicycle shop
for inspection and repairs.
BOLT-ON CONNECTIONS|QUICKCLAMPS|PARTS and ACCESSORIES
The bolts and nuts on your bicycle must be checked for tight fit at regular intervals. If
these elements are tightened too far, they may break or damage the threaded parts. If
not tightened enough they can become loose. Both cases risk accidents, crashes or
material damages.
Depending on the bicycle model, quick clamps can secure the wheel hubs, the folding
mechanisms in case of folding bicycles, or seat posts. These quick clamps ensure removal
of wheels or adjustment of seat post height, quickly and without specific tools.
Check that all clips and clamps are secured properly before use.
