Control Position Adjustments; Brake Reach - Giant MULTI-SPEED Manual

WARNING: An insufficiently tightened stem binder bolt, handlebar binder
bolt or bar end extension clamping bolt may compromise steering action, which
could cause you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle be-
tween your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can
twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to
the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts
are insufficiently tightened.
D. Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their position on the handle-
bars can be changed. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for you.
E. Brake reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted for reach. If you have small
hands or find it difficult to squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can either adjust
the reach or fit shorter reach brake levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is to
have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power can be applied within
available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insufficient to apply full brak-
ing power can result in loss of control, which may result in serious injury or
death.
