saddle which, when correctly adjusted for your body and riding style,

will be comfortable.

CAUTION: It has been alleged that extended riding with a saddle

which is incorrectly adjusted or which does not support your pelvic

area correctly can cause short or long-term injury to nerves and

blood vessels. If your saddle causes you pain or numbness, adjust

the saddle position and your riding position. If pain or numbness

persists, talk to your dealer about fitting a different saddle to your

bicycle.

4.1.3. Handlebar height and angle

Your bike is equipped with a stem which clamps directly on to the

outside of the steering tube, your dealer may be able to change bar

height by moving height adjustment spacers from below the stem to

above the stem, or vice versa. Otherwise, you'll have to get a stem of

different length or rise. Consult your dealer.

Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it requires special knowledge.

You can change the angle of the handlebar or bar end extensions by

loosening their binder bolt(s), rotating the bar or extension to the

desired angle, re-centering it and retightening the binder bolt(s) tight

enough so that the bars or extensions can't move in relation to each

other and the stem.

WARNING: Failure to properly tighten the stem binder bolt(s), the

handlebar binder bolt(s) or the bar end extension clamping bolts may

compromise steering action, which could cause you to lose control

and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between your legs and

attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the

stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to

he stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar,

tighten the bolts.

Control position adjustments: The brake and shifting controls on your

bike are positioned where they work best for most people. The angle

of the controls and their position on the handlebars can be changed.

Ask your dealer to show you how, or to make the adjustments for

you.

Brake reach: Many bikes have brake levers that can be adjusted for

reach. If you have small hands and find it difficult to squeeze the

brake levers, your dealer can either adjust the reach or fit shorter

reach brake levers.

WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is

to have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power can be

applied within available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel

insufficient to apply full braking power can result in loss of control,

which may result in serious injury or death.

4.2. Safety

WARNING: Many nations require specific safety devices. It is your

responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the nation where

you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly

equipping yourself and your bike as the law requires.

4.2.1. Helmet

While not all States require bicyclists to wear approved protective

headgear, common sense dictates that you should always wear a

helmet that is in compliance with ASTM, Snell, CPSC or CE

standards. Most serious bicycle injuries involve head injuries that

might have been avoided if the rider had worn a helmet. Your dealer

has a variety of attractive helmets, and can recommend one to suit

your needs. But the “right” helmet is not just a fashion statement. It
