Chapter 1: Guide to

safe on- and o-road

operaon

This chapter explains important things you

should know before a rst ride, including

safety informaon that is important to follow

on every ride.

Before a rst ride

This informaon should be read by anyone

before their rst ride of this bicycle.

Bicycle t

Your retailer will help you nd a bicycle that

has the correct dimensions for your body.

There should be a minimum standover

clearance of at least 1” (25 mm) between the

top tube and you when you stand over your

bicycle (Figure 1.1). For a mountain bicycle,

we recommend 2-3” (50-75 mm) clearance.

You can adjust the saddle and handlebar to

oer the best comfort and performance.

Before you make these adjustments, read

Warning about mechanical work on page 11,

then refer to Chapter 3.

Your bicycle has a weight limit. See Use

Condions on page 13. In addion, some

parts have their own weight limits. If you are

not sure of the weight limit on your bicycle

and its parts, consult your retailer.

Know how your bicycle operates

The properes of your bicycle, if not used

correctly, can decrease your control of the

bicycle. Before you ride fast or in condions

that are a challenge, learn the operaon

and performance of all the mechanisms of

your bicycle, especially brakes and steering

components. Pracce the rst use of your bicycle

at slower speeds in a at, empty parking area.

Pracce again aer any change to your bicycle.

If your bicycle does not operate as you need,

or if dierent parts are necessary for the safe

operaon of your bicycle, it may be possible

to customize it. Consult your retailer.

‘Toe Overlap’

Some modern, high-performance bicycles,

especially smaller sizes, use a short-wheelbase

design with the front wheel close to the pedals.

When the handlebar is turned during very slow

speeds, your foot or toe-clips could overlap or

touch the front wheel or fender (Figure 1.2). At

average speeds, the handlebar does not turn

suciently for contact to occur. When you ride

slowly with the handlebar turned, do not pedal.

This overlap is aected by the size of your

feet, the length of the crankarms, the size of

the res, and the pedals you choose. If you

change any of these components, the amount

of the overlap could change.

WARNING: If your foot or toe-clip

touches the front wheel or fender,

‘toe overlap’ could decrease your

control and cause you to fall. Do not

pedal when you turn at slow speed.
