parts that fall in this category.

Τhe manufacturer of IDEAL bikes shall not be bound

to make good any defect where the bicycle and/
or its components have been subject to misuse,
neglect, accidental damage, abuse, improper
assembly and improper maintenance by other than
a specialized IDEAL bicycles dealer. The use of parts
and/or devices which is not consistent with the use
originally intended for the bicycle as sold, as well as
damages caused by using non-original parts or parts
not approved by a specialized IDEAL bicycles dealer,
are not covered by this warranty

This warranty is void if the bicycle is modified from
its original condition or the bicycle is used for other
than normal activities, including, but not limited to,
failing to follow the instructions includeed in this
Owner’s Manual, or using the bicycle in competition
events, including, but not limited to, bicycle racing,
stunt riding, ramp jumping or similar activities.

IDEAL hereby grants a voluntary limited
manufacturer’s warranty, which is provided under the
specific terms and conditions exclusively described
in this document. This warranty does not affect any
statutory rights of the customer.

WARNING

Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its
components are subject to wear and stress.
Different materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue
from stress at different rates and have different life
cycles. If a component’s life cycle is exceeded, it can
fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing injury to
the rider.

Many bicycle and service tasks require special
training, skill, knowledge and tools. Do not begin any
adjustments or service on your bicycle, unless you
know that you can properly complete them. Improper
adjustment or service may result in damage to the
bicycle or in an accident which can cause serious injury.

Like all sports, cycling involves risk of injury and
damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume
the responsibility for that risk. So you need to
know and constantly practice the rules of safe and
responsible riding.

ATTENTION

To ensure the safety of riding your bike, it is required
that certain parts (such as forks, suspension forks
and rear shocks) go through periodical checks and
maintenance, according to their manufacturer’s
guide accompanying each product. For these
services please always contact a specialized IDEAL
bicycle dealer.

The periodical checking and service of the
bicycle according to the instructions of the
manufacturer described in this manual are
absolutely necessary for a safe and enjoyable
riding.

In case that, despite the recommendations and
instructions of the manufacturer, the bicycle
owner/ user does not perform periodical
checking and service of the bicycle, he/ she
undertakes the risk of serious accident, for
which the manufacturer has no responsibility.

BICYCLE PARTS OF WEAR AND

TEAR

Parts of wear and tear are excluded from any
warranty.

Normal

parts of wear and tear, i.e. parts and

components that will wear out by definition because
they are being used, include tires, tubes, saddles,
brake shoes/pads, brake & gear cables & inner
wires, chain, sprockets, chainrings, derailleur
pulleys, rims, handlebar grips, reflectors and light
systems. The wear out of above parts depends on
bicycle maintenance, bicycle care, riding style and
riding conditions. The result of these parameters is
the time by which above parts will start to function
below perfect. It is of paramount importance that
those parts are immediately replaced when wear
and tear become obvious.

Wear and tear also comes in when your bicycle
sustains an

impact

. In such a case, first of all check

yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best
you can. Seek medical help if necessary. Next, check
your bike for damage. After any crash, take your bike
to a specialized bicycle dealer for a thorough check.
A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress
