Bicycles Have Sharp Surfaces
WARNING
Bicycles have exposed sharp surfaces.
Exercise caution with chainrings and pointed,
aggressive platform pedals, as they have sharp
and potentially dangerous surfaces. Use
caution when working on your bike. If you slip
or fall you could be injured.
Bar Ends
We urge consumers not to install “Bar Ends” on
bicycles. Some handlebars are designed to take the
added stress of bar ends, others are not. Very
lightweight handlebars may be particularly poorly
suited for bar ends. If you want bar ends, consult
your authorized dealer about suitable choices, read
and follow instructions and warnings that
accompany the handlebars and bar ends, and
inspect the handlebars and bar ends regularly.
Installing Accessories
Have all accessories mounted by your authorized
dealer. Be sure that any accessory you or your
authorized retailer fits to your bike does not block or
interfere with nationally required reflectors or
lights.
WARNING
Incompatible accessories or poorly or
improperly mounted accessories can adversely
affect the performance of your bicycle and may
be unsafe.
