• Hydraulic brakes that feel “sponge-y” and/or
levers that can be depressed all the way to
the grips w/o generating adequate stopping
power (due to trapped air and/or leaks).
6. As required: If either brake lever fails the
Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C), don’t
ride the bike. Have your dealer check the
brakes. If the chain won’t shift smoothly and
quietly from gear to gear, the derailleur is
out of adjustment. See your dealer..

of riding: Take your bike to your dealer for a
complete checkup.
WARNING
Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its
components are subject to wear and stress.
Different materials and mechanisms wear or
fatigue from stress at different rates and have
different life cycles. If a component’s life cycle
is exceeded, the component can suddenly and
catastrophically fail, causing serious injury or
death to the rider
WARNING
Scratches, cracks, fraying and discoloration
are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate
that a part is at the end of its useful life and
needs to be replaced.
While the materials and workmanship of your
bicycle or of individual components may be
covered by a warranty for a specified period of
time by the manufacturer, this is no guarantee
that the product will last the term of the
warranty. Product life is often related to the
kind of riding you do and to the treatment to
which you submit the bicycle. The bicycle’s
warranty is not meant to suggest that the
bicycle cannot be broken or will last forever. It
only means that the bicycle is covered subject
to the terms of the warranty.
