WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves and glasses while working on the wheels.
DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE IF IT DOES NOT PASS THIS PRE-RIDE TEST. CORRECT ANY CONDITION BEFORE YOU RIDE!
• Never use a bicycle or bicycle component unless you are thoroughly familiar with its use and maintenance history. "Used" equipment may have been
misused and abused, and can unexpectedly fail resulting in an accident.
• Ensure that the tyres are in good condition and check the inflating pressure before every ride.
• Be sure that your wheels are perfectly centered. Spin the wheels to be sure that they do not wobble up and down or from side to side, and that they do
not make contact with the brake pads while rotating.
• Be sure that all of the components of your bicycle, including but not limited to your brakes, pedals, handgrips, handlebars, frame and seating system,
are in optimum condition and suitable for use.
• Be sure that none of the components of bicycle are bent, damaged or out of alignment.
• Check to be sure that all quick release fasteners, nuts and bolts are properly adjusted (see the "Quick Release" instruction sheet). Bounce the bicycle on
the ground and listen and look for anything which may be loose.
• Check all reflectors to make sure that they are clean, straight and securely mounted.
• Check you brake pads and cables to be sure they are in good condition.
• Test your brakes in the beginning of your ride to make sure that they are operating properly.
• Wear clothes which are snug-fitting and which make you visible to traffic, such as neon fluorescent or other bright colors.
• Avoid biking at night, because it is more difficult for you to be seen by traffic, and it is more difficult for you to see obstructions on the ground. If you do ride
at night, you should equip your bicycle with and use a headlight and a taillight.
• Learn and follow the local bicycle laws and regulations, and obey all traffic signals, signs and laws while you ride.
• Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. reminds you to always wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet that has been approved by ANSI or SNELL.
