1.2. Before Every Ride

Check the following points before you set off:

a. Are the quick-release levers, thru axles or the bolted connections

of the front and rear wheel, the seat post and other components

properly closed and tightened? For more information on how to use

quick-releases see chapters “Wheel Fastening with Quick-Releases”

and “Wheel Fastening with Thru Axles”.

d. Test the brakes while standing by firmly pulling brake levers towards

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

their entire surface. They must not touch the tyres. With disc brakes

the wheels must be fully blocked when pulling the brake lever in sta-

tionary with little manual force. You should not be able to pull the

brake lever of disc or rim brakes all the way to the handlebars! For

more information see chapter “The Brake System“.

e. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your bicycle is equipped

according to the regulations of your country. Riding without lights

and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous because

you will be seen too late or not at all by other road users. Turn on

the lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see chapter

“Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads”.

f. Let your 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 necessary.

g. If your bicycle has suspension, check it as follows: Press down on your

bicycle and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as

usual.

h. If your bicycle has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised before you

set off. Risk of falling!

i. Various parts of your new bicycle, such as the chain drive, always

need to be well lubricated. Make sure not to dirt your clothes and

protect your trousers with a trouser clip whenever you set off on your

bicycle.

Before Every Ride

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

Do a thumb test. For more information see chapter “The Wheels”.

c. 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”.

Danger:

Improperly closed quick-re-

leases or thru axles can

cause components of your

bicycle to come loose and

result in serious accidents!

Danger:

During use your bicycle is

undergoing stress resulting

from the surface of the road

and through the rider’s

action. Due to these dynamic

loads, the dierent parts of

your bicycle react with wear

and fatigue. Please check

your bicycle regularly for

wear marks as well as for

scratches, dents, bent parts

and incipient cracking. Com-

ponents which have reached

the end of their service life

may break without previous

warning. Let your STEVENS

dealer maintain and service

your bicycle regularly and in

cases of doubt it is always

best to replace components.

Danger: Do not use your bicycle, if it fails on one these

points! If you are in doubt, ask your STEVENS

dealer for help. Riding a defective bicycle can result in serious accidents!

Note: Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain

lock with you on your ride. The only way to ef-

fectively protect your bicycle against theft is to lock it to an immovable

object.
