WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important
for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is
applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and
consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the
components.
TECH TIP: Apply thread locker to chainring bolts.
Proper tire pressure is critical for optimal performance. Tires with higher pressure will typically roll faster and provide
less rolling resistance, but provide less traction. Tires with lower pressure will typically provide increased traction
and control at the expense of rolling resistance. Too little pressure will increase the risk of rim damage and potential
for "burped" tires (releasing air when used as tubeless).
Experiment with different tire pressures in different conditions to find what works best for you when riding your
preferred terrain.
Use a quality pressure gauge and refer to the tire pressure recommendations written on the side of the tires.
TECH TIP: Because of the extra weight of the VADO SL bicycle, tire pressure should generally be
higher compared to a regular bicycle.
