CHECK THAT EVERYTHING IS
TIGHT
Check that all the bolts or
other tightening features are
sufciently tight, such as the
brake calipers, seatclamp,
stem, cockpit, levers, headset,
derailleur, wheels and so on...
THINGS TO CHECK
Check the wheels: they should
turn without any problem
(trueness, roudness...) and be
correctly assembled in the
frame or the fork.
Check your brakes: they should
work correctly and the levers
should not feel too hard or too
soft.
Transmission: gears should
shift easily, the crankset
should turn without friction.
Check that the pedals and
crankset have no play.
SETTINGS CHECKS
Be sure that your bike is set up
to your body specically:
- Saddle height.
- Suitable saddle orientation.
- Specic air pressure in
suspension and tires.
- Cockpit and controls
position adjusted.
