TIRES
Do not over-inflate the tire. This can cause the tire to blow off of the rim. Inflate the tire to the
pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire or consult your dealer for additional information.
Use the size listed on the sidewall of the tire when you purchase additional tires, tubes, or rim
strips. To repair a flat tire, use a patch kit, replace the tube, or repair with sealant (for tubeless
rims). Consult your dealer for information on replacing or repairing a tire for your specific bicycle.
Do not use air hoses at gas stations to inflate tires. These air hoses can have
inaccurate pressure readings and inflate the tire too quickly, which can cause
damage or cause the tire to blow off the rim.
For front suspension forks, you must have at least 6 mm of tire clearance
when the air is released from the fork and the fork is compressed completely.
Measure around the edges of the inflated tire and the crown, fork brace, and
steerer. Failure to leave at least 6 mm of tire clearance can cause the tire to
stop against the fork when the fork is compressed, which can result in serious
injury and/or death.
For road or cyclocross bicycles, there must be at least 10 mm of tire clearance
between the edges of the inflated tire and the frame.
OPERATING REGULATIONS
If you want to ride on a public road, your bicycle (motorless) or Pedelec must be fitted with
the following components: brake system, bell, lighting device and/or reflectors. All of these
components must be kept in good working condition and properly secured to the bicycle. The
front light/reflector must face directly forward, and the rear light/reflector must face directly
back. Make sure the lights/reflectors are visible at all times, and watch for clothing or other
items that may cover them accidentally. Further requirements are covered in national legislation
governing operating regulations. If components which are required by law in your country or
location are not fitted to your bicycle, you must retrofit these before traveling on public roads.
LUGGAGE CARRIERS
Some Santa Cruz Bicycles are compatible with a front or rear mounted luggage carrier or trailer.
Consult your dealer or trailer/carrier manufacturer's instructions for mounting requirements,
compatibility, proper installation, and safe use. Consult your dealer to follow a maintenance
schedule for any added products or accessories. The dropper seatpost on your bicycle is not
intended for the use of child seats and luggage carrier
The use of luggage carriers or trailers can affect steering, the performance
of suspension and other components, and will increase the braking distance
required to stop or slow the bicycle. Do not overload the bicycle (see weight
limits, Safety Instructions). Make sure luggage and carrier parts do not cover
lights or reflectors or interfere with moving components, such as wheels.
