GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
• Check the wheel rims for excess wear, dings, dents, and scratches. Consult your dealer if you
see any rim damage.
• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secure, and tighten any which are
not.
• Check the frame, particularly in the area around all tube joints; the handlebars; the stem; and
the seatpost for any deep scratches, cracks or discoloration. These are signs of stress-caused
fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. See also
“Inspect for Safety” in this manual.
EVERY 25 (HARD OFF-ROAD) TO 50 (ON-ROAD) HOURS OF RIDING:
