1. SAFET Y
_________________________________________________________
1.1. ATTENTION! Please remember cycling can be a hazardous activity.
1.2. Before each ridecheck the bike as described in Section 4.
1.3. When riding
,use individual means of pr
otection.Wear a helmet to protect your
head from injury, glasses will cover your eyes from dust and insects, gloves will save
your hands in case of fall.
1.4.
Before entering r oad traffic ,study its r ules.Most countries and regions have their
own national regulations for cyclists. Here are the most crucial rules:
1.4.1. Use appropriate hand signals.
1.4.2. Ride along the required road side (never ride against tr
1.4.3. If you’re in a team while on the road cycle one by one.
1.4.4. Protect yourself (try to forecast unexpected). Remember: You are not always
visible; though cycling becomes more popular, many drivers do not know
bicycle signals.
1.5. B e c ar eful when c ycling on r oads with danger ous surface. P lease be car eful
while riding on gravel roads.
1.5.1. Make sure you’re allowed to ride there. Not all parks and private places are
opened for cyclists.
1.5.2. Put on protective apparel, including helmet, glasses and gloves.
1.5.3. Stubs, stones, potholes make ground cycling dangerous.
1.5.4. When going down slow down, moving your body backwards and down-
wards; it’s advisable to use rear brake.
1.5.5.
Avoid rocks, branches and hollows.
Consider others. Use the bell to warn them you’re on the way.
1.6. U
se br ak es with c ar e.Always keep a safe distance when stopping behind other ve-
hicles or objects. Braking distance and power should correspond to road conditions
depending on weather. Use both brakes at the same time and avoid front brake
overusing.
1.7.
Protect y ourself.Always be ready to face risk. Please remember you are less visible
to other cyclists, bikers and pedestrians than a car. Always be prepared to stop or
skirt.

1.8. W at
ch the r
oad .Though road conditions and tracks design have recently become
better you should be always aware. You can meet pits, drains, low edges, etc on your
way. Cross the railway cautiously at the angle of 90 degrees. In case you don’t feel
ct ycle and drive it.
1.9. Wat
ch the par
ked c
ars when passing b
y.You can easily get into trouble in case
a car drives suddenly away or a car door is suddenly opened on your way. For your
safety it’s advisable to use the alarm bell.
1.10. B
e c
areful when driving a
t nigh
t time.Your bicycle is equipped with required re-
t e it’s necessary and make sure they are clean. Do remem-
ber no matter you have r tors you are still in danger of being injured unless light
is focused on them. We also advise you to set light equipment on your bicycle and
wear bright clothes to be seen on the road. The key point is to see and to be seen.
Please use numerous and various gadgets for that.
1.11. M
ind w et w
eather.Any brakes no matter the design don’t function same way in
wet and dry weather. That is why one should stick to safety rules. When it’s wet out-
side your well adjusted and oiled brakes still require an increased lever pressure and
a longer braking distance. It will take you more time to stop. Besides, wet weather
leads to bad view (for you and car drivers) and worsens road adherence. Slow down
when turning on wet road. Greasy leaves and hatches can be dangerous as well.
1.12. If y

3.3. Handle bar
You can easily dene handlebar tilt and bent. Make sure the handlebar tilt is
horizontally centred in the stem. Otherwise, you may refer to your own comfort
requirements. To adjust/mount the handlebar release/take o Allen bolts, set the
bar within the stem centre and keep the necessary tilt direction. Torque the bolts in
rotation, in case it’s a two-bolt x; torque the bolts in chequer-wise rotation, in case
it’s a four-bolt x. The maximum torque is 5-8 N/m.
3.4. Saddle, seat post
Put the seat at the approximate height, the torque of quick-release bolt 5-8 N/m
(do not mount the seat post height drawn out beyond the limit). Get on your bike,
let somebody hold you or put the bike beside the wall when on it. Put your heels
on pedals. Spin the pedals back. When wearing your shoes there should be a slight
bend in your knee in a proper riding position. At the same time you shouldn’t fall
over the saddle when riding. Tip the saddle nose either parallel to the ground or a bit
up to stay on the seat without moving towards the handle bar. To adjust the saddle
angle and position towards the seat post back and forth release the bolt in the seat
post; in case you have a two-bolt x release the bolts in rotation. After you adjust the
saddle to the desired position torque the bolt with 12-15 N/m. In case of the two-
bolt x adjust the angle by tightening one of the bolts and loosening the other. The
nal torque for each bolt is 12 N/m.

4. MAINTAIN YOUR BICYCLE.
_________________________________________________________
4.1. Before every ride
4.1.1. Check the way your brakes function. Press the brake lever rolling the bicycle
forward and backward. The wheels should clearly block.
4.1.2. Check the holding force of wheels quick releases.
4.1.3. Check the tyre pressure (Tips are given in 3.11).

4.2. O nce a week (about 100-200 km distance run)
4.2.1. Clean and oil the chain (choose special silicone or t icants,
epending on weather conditions and riding
frequency the break between maintenance sessions can vary.
4.3. O nce a month (about 500-800 km distance run)
4.3.1. Check the chain for wear using the tool required.
4.3.2. Check whether hub, headset, bottom bracket and pedal bearings are
properly adjusted.
4.3.3. Tight the crank bolts to the tor tion. For cranks set to bottom
bracket axle — 35-40 N/m.
4.3.4. Check that all stem and handle bar bolts are tightened to the torque
tion (5-8 N/m).
4.3.5. Check the wheels radial and face true. If necessary change the rims. To
adjust you will need a spoke wrench (we strongly advise you to contact an
authorised service centre in this case).
4.3.6. Check brake pads condition, in case you have V type brakes; check the wear
of rims braking surface. Once the special grooving remains the rim is still
possible to use; once the grooving is no longer visible, the rims are subjext
to change.
4.4. O nce a season
4.4.1. Suspension fork is maintained according to the manual enclosed. Fork oil
seals are to be cleaned or replaced o be changed. If you
ride your bicycle when it’s rainy, snowy or dirty service it more often than
the schedule suggests. You can determine by sight or once you feel the fork
malfunctions whether suspension systems require service.
4.4.2. Check cables and their cover condition. The cover should not be damaged
in the cable-held places.The cables must have smooth surface with no signs
of souring and be able to run freely inside the cover. If required, change the
cables and cover.
4.4.3 Change the lubricant inside the hubs, bottom bracket and head set (pro-
vided that bearings are possible to dismount for service).
Weeks of bicycle riding (about 100 km distance run) take it to the
service centre f tenance. It includes determining torque of cranks on
bottom bracket spindle (500 Nm); checking headset, stem and handle bar torque
(star nut — 3 Nm, stem bolts — 5 Nm); spokes’tension check; brakes and derailleurs
adjusting. Bicy tenance in authorised service centre will be free if it’s
bought from your dealer.

5. GUIDE TO GENERAL RULES
_________________________________________________________
5.1. Recommended tools for service and repair:
• Torque wrenches with measure range of 3 to 50 N/m;
• Allen keys 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 mm;
• Spanner keys 9, 10, 13, 15, 17 mm;
• Cap keys 15 mm;
• Screwdriver Ph+ (1);
• Tire levers;
• Air-gauge pump.
For further consult on wide range tools usage please contact your dealer.
5.2.
5.3.
Seat (saddle) adjustment
Follow the recommendations given in 3.4. Your comfort cycling will depend on cor-
rectly chosen saddle height and shape, as well as its adjustment.
5.4.
Apparel
We strongly advise you to wear a helmet. Choose the one considering your riding
style and frequency. Let a bike shop assistant help you when buying. Cycling gloves
will let you provide a good grip for the bar. Sole of the shoes should be sti and non-
slip. Clothes should be loose and comfortable tting your body. Wide pant legs can
easily be caught by cranks or stuck between the chain and chainwheel. Wide jacket
or T-shirt can easily hitch on the bar, stem or seat.
Gear shift
While riding choose the most comfortable for you sprockets ratio regards the area.
Follow the rule to never use such derailleur gears as: smallest front chainwheel –
smallest rear sprocket, largest front chainwheel – biggest rear sprocket. Such use
leads to the unfavorable run of chain and fastens chain and sprockets wear.
Pressing the shifter moves the chain to the large chain rings. When shifting the
chain over the chain wheels (front derailleur) it’s advasable to apply less force with
pedals, at least before the chain reaches the 6-7 teeth sprocket. Otherwise, such shift
can lead to chainwheel break down (bend, teeth damage) or chain out of order (links
torn or bent).
When shifting the smallest rear sprockets (rear derailleur) it’s advisable to slow down
the pedal force. Do not try to shift the gears without chain rotation. It may disadjust
the derailleurs.
