Frame and fork
Examine your frame and fork, especially
near junctions, and clamping or attach-
ment areas.
Look and feel for signs of fatigue: dents,
cracks, scratches, deformation, discolor-
ation, unusual noises (e.g. chain/belt slap
or brake rub during acceleration). If you
nd any, contact your bike shop before
riding the bicycle.
Wheels and tires
Check the tires for damage or a worn
area. As a tire wears thin, it may become
more susceptible to puncture. If a cut
goes all the way through the casing, or any
casing thread shows through the tread,
replace the tire.
Have your bike shop x or replace loose
spokes or spokes with damage.
Only use wheels, tires, and tubes speci-
cally approved for your bicycle, including
design, width, and diameter. The tires for
these bikes are specically made for cargo
bike applications.
WARNING: Failure to use a compatible
tire and rim combination can cause the
tire to unexpectedly lose pressure and
detach from the rim, resulting in a crash
causing serious injury or death. Ensure
the components are compatible according
to the component manufacturers before
installation.
If a hub feels loose or makes a grinding
noise, your bearings may need atten-
tion. Only your bike shop should adjust
bearings.
