SilverBack SCALERA 1 - Changing Components or Adding Accessories

We recommend against this type of riding because of the increased risks; but if you choose to
take the risk, at least:
• Take lessons from a competent instructor first
• Start with easy learning exercises and slowly develop your skills before trying more
dicult or dangerous riding
• Use only designated areas for stunts, jumping, racing or fast downhill riding
• Wear a full face helmet, safety pads and other safety gear
• Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on your bike by this kind of activity
may break or damage parts of the bicycle and void the warranty
• Take your bicycle to your dealer if anything breaks or bends. Do not ride your bicycle when
any part is damaged.
• If you ride downhill at speed, do stunt riding or ride in competition, know the limits of your
skill and experience. Ultimately, avoiding injury is your responsibility.
G. Changing Components or Adding Accessories
There are many components and accessories available to enhance the comfort, performance
and appearance of your bicycle. However, if you change components or add accessories, you do
so at your own risk. The bicycle’s manufacturer may not have tested that component or
accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on your bicycle. Before installing any
component or accessory, including a dierent size tire, make sure that it is compatible with your
bicycle by checking with your dealer. Be sure to read, understand and follow the instructions that
accompany the products you purchase for your bicycle. See also Appendix A, p. 35 and B, p. 41.
WARNING: Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install, operate and maintain
any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Changing the components on your bike with other than
genuine replacement parts may compromise the safety of your bicycle and may
void the warranty. Check with your dealer before changing the components on
your bike.
3. Fit
NOTE: Correct fit is an essential element of bicycling safety, performance and
comfort. Making the adjustments to your bicycle which result in correct fit for
your body and riding conditions requires experience, skill and special tools.
Always have your dealer make the adjustments on your bicycle; or, if you have
the experience, skill and tools, have your dealer check your work before riding.
WARNING: If your bicycle does not fit properly, you may lose control
and fall. If your new bike doesn’t fit, ask your dealer to exchange it before you
ride it.
