Before Every Ride

Your STEVENS bicycle has undergone numerous tests during production and

a ﬁnal check has been carried out by your STEVENS dealer. Nevertheless, be sure

to check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to

the transport of your STEVENS bicycle or to changes a third person may have

performed on your bicycle before delivery:

1. Are the quick-release levers or the bolted connections of the front and rear

wheel, the seat post and other components properly closed and tightened?

For more information see chapter “How to Use Quick-Releases and Thru

Axles” further below and in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as

well as in the instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed

CD-ROM.

2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufﬁcient pressure? The

minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side.

For more information see chapter “The Wheels” in your comprehensive

STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manu-

facturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. Watch the gap between

rim and brake pad or, in the case of disc brakes, between frame and rim or

tyre. Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with ruptured sides or broken

axles or spokes.

For more information see chapter “The Wheels” in your comprehensive

STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manu-

facturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

4. Test the brakes in stationary by ﬁrmly pulling the brake levers towards the

handlebars. The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with their

entire surface without touching the tyre during braking or in open condition or

in between. Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the han-

dlebars and check the hydraulic brake cables for leaks. Check the thickness of

the brake pads, as well.

With disc brakes you should directly get a positive braking response. If you

have to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking

response, have the STEVENS bicycle checked by your STEVENS dealer.

For more information see chapter “The Brake System” further below and in

your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the

component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

5. Let your STEVENS bicycle bounce on the ground from a small height. If there

is any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolts, if nec-

essary.

6. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your STEVENS bicycle is

equipped according to the regulations of your country. Riding without lights

and reﬂectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous A lighting set that

corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the lights as

soon as dusk sets in.

For more information see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on

Public Roads” in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual on the enclosed

CD-ROM.

7. In case you have a STEVENS bicycle with suspension, press down on your

STEVENS bicycle and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as

usual.

For more information see chapters “Suspension Forks” and “Full Suspen-

sion of the Mountain Bike Models” further below and in your comprehensive

STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the component manu-

facturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

8. Make sure the kick-stand, is fully raised before you set off. Risk of falling!

9. Do not forget to take a high quality folding, D- or chain lock with you on your

ride. The only way to effectively protect your STEVENS bicycle against theft is

to lock it to an immovable object.

Danger:

Be aware that the dis-

tance you need to stop

your bicycle increases,

when you are riding with

your hands on aero-

dynamic handlebars,

on bar ends or on multi

position handlebars.

The brake levers are

not always within easy

reach.

Danger:

Do not use your

STEVENS bicycle, if

it fails on one these

points! Riding a defec-

tive STEVENS bicycle

can result in serious

accidents! If you are in

doubt or if you have any

questions, contact your

STEVENS dealer.

Danger:

During use your STEVENS bicycle is undergoing stress resulting from the

surface of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic

loads, the different parts of your bicycle react with wear and fatigue.

Check your STEVENS bicycle regularly for wear marks, scratches,

deformations, colour changes and any indication of cracking. Compo-

nents which have reached the end of their service life may break without

previous warning. Let your STEVENS dealer maintain and service your

STEVENS bicycle regularly and in cases of doubt it is always best to

replace components.

Danger:

Improperly closed

quick-releases and

other fastenings can

cause components of

your STEVENS bicycle to

come loose and result in

serious accidents!
