more difﬁcult or dangerous riding

• Use only designated areas for stunts, jumping, racing or fast downhill riding

• Wear a full face helmet, safety pads and other safety gear

• Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on your bike by this kind of

activity may break or damage parts of the bicycle and void the warranty

• Take your bicycle to your dealer if anything breaks or bends. Do not ride your

bicycle when any part is damaged.

If you ride downhill at speed, do stunt riding or ride in competition, know the limits of

your skill and experience. Ultimately, avoiding injury is your responsibility.

G. `Changing Components or Adding Accessories

There are many components and accessories available to enhance the comfort,

performance and appearance of your bicycle. However, if you change components or add

accessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle’s manufacturer may not have tested

that component or accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on your bicycle. Before

installing any component or accessory, including a different size tire, make sure that it is

compatible with your bicycle by checking with your dealer. Be sure to read, understand

and follow the instructions that accompany the products you purchase for your bicycle.

See also Appendix A, p. 35 and B, p. 41.

WARNING: Failure to conﬁrm compatibility, properly install, operate and

maintain any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING: Changing the components on your bike with other than genuine

replacement parts may compromise the safety of your bicycle and may void the

warranty. Check with your dealer before changing the components on your bike.

3. Fit

NOTE: Correct ﬁt is an essential element of bicycling safety, performance and comfort.

Making the adjustments to your bicycle which result in correct ﬁt for your body and

riding conditions requires experience, skill and special tools. Always have your dealer

make the adjustments on your bicycle; or, if you have the experience, skill and tools,

have your dealer check your work before riding.

WARNING: If your bicycle does not ﬁt properly, you may lose control and fall. If

your new bike doesn’t ﬁt, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.

A. Standover height

1. Diamond frame bicycles

Standover height is the basic element of bike ﬁt (see ). It is the distance from

the ground to the top of the bicycle’s frame at that point where your crotch is when

straddling the bike. To check for correct standover height, straddle the bike while

wearing the kind of shoes in which you’ll be riding, and bounce vigorously on your heels.

While riding at dawn, at dusk or at night:

• Ride slowly.

• Avoid dark areas and areas of heavy or fast-moving trafﬁc.

• Avoid road hazards.

• If possible, ride on familiar routes.

If riding in trafﬁc:

• Be predictable. Ride so that drivers can see you and predict your movements.

• Be alert. Ride defensively and expect the unexpected.

• If you plan to ride in trafﬁc often, ask your dealer about trafﬁc safety classes or a

good book on bicycle trafﬁc safety.

F. Extreme, Stunt or Competition Riding

Whether you call it Aggro, Hucking, Freeride, North Shore, Downhill, Jumping, Stunt

Riding, Racing or something else: if you engage in this sort of extreme, aggressive

riding you will get hurt, and you voluntarily assume a greatly increased risk of injury or

death.

Not all bicycles are designed for these types of riding, and those that are may not

be suitable for all types of aggressive riding. Check with your dealer or the bicycle’s

manufacturer about the suitability of your bicycle before engaging in extreme riding.

When riding fast down hill, you can reach speeds achieved by motorcycles, and

therefore face similar hazards and risks. Have your bicycle and equipment carefully

inspected by a qualiﬁed mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition. Consult with

expert riders, area site personnel and race ofﬁcials on conditions and equipment

advisable at the site where you plan to ride. Wear appropriate safety gear, including

an approved full face helmet, full ﬁnger gloves, and body armor. Ultimately, it is your

responsibility to have proper equipment and to be familiar with course conditions.

WARNING: Although many catalogs, advertisements and articles about

bicycling depict riders engaged in extreme riding, this activity is extremely

dangerous, increases your risk of injury or death, and increases the severity of any

injury. Remember that the action depicted is being performed by professionals with

many years of training and experience. Know your limits and always wear a helmet

and other appropriate safety gear. Even with state-of-the-art protective safety gear,

you could be seriously injured or killed when jumping, stunt riding, riding downhill at

speed or in competition.

WARNING: Bicycles and bicycle parts have limitations with regard to strength

and integrity, and this type of riding can exceed those limitations.

We recommend against this type of riding because of the increased risks; but if you

choose to take the risk, at least:

• Take lessons from a competent instructor ﬁrst

• Start with easy learning exercises and slowly develop your skills before trying
