1. Despite a perfectly set up chain gear
system, a bike chain crossing at an an-
gle can lead to noises during riding.
These noises are normal and do not
cause
any damage to the gear compo-
nents.
2. Do not pedal backwards while chang-
ing gears, as this may damage the gear
system.
Using faulty, incorrectly set-up or worn
gear components is dangerous and can
lead to falls. If you are concerned, have
components checked and readjusted as
required by a FLYER specialist retailer.
