A WHEEL ATTACHMENT DEVICE THAT IS NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED AND CLOSED MAY ALLOW THE WHEEL
TO BE LOOSE OR COME OFF UNEXPECTIDLY, CAUSING YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL. MAKE SURE THE
WHEELS ARE PROPERLY ATTACHED BEFORE RIDING THE BIKE.
Wheel Retention System:
-Your bike comes with a bolt on style front axle, make sure the front tire is centered on the fork. Once
centered, secure wheel to the front fork with a washer and nut on each side. Be sure the anti-turn washer is
installed properly.
-Check that the disc brake operates properly.
-Illustration below shows the correct tightening of the front wheel.
Brake Reach
Some bikes have adjustable brake levers. These can be adjusted to fit each individual rider's specific needs. For
example, if you have a short reach, you may need the levers adjusted closer to the handlebar. This adjustment
or brake lever replacement should be done by a qualified bike technician or bike shop.
DISC BRAKES AND DISCS CAN GET VERY HOT DURING USE AND COULD BURN SKIN. ALSO, THE DISC EDGES
MAY BE SHARP AND COULD CUT SKIN. AVOID TOUCHING THE DISC OR DISC BRAKE WHEN HOT, OR WHEN
ROTATING.
Handlebar stem and front wheel alignment
• Make sure the front wheel and handlebar stem are aligned in the proper orientation to each other.
• Turn the handlebar from side to side with the front wheel locked between your knees to test the stem
connection of the fork. If any movement is noted do not ride the bike until this is corrected.
