OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Ride
Make sure all of your quick releases are locked and secure. Make sure all parts,
components and accessories are in good working order. Check all fittings and
be sure that they are tight and secure. Inspect your bike completely.
BICYCLE COMPONENTS
Wheels
Wheels should be centered in fork or dropouts. Whenever you hear any
irregular noise from the wheels or the brakes, the wheels should be checked and
repaired. Wheels should be checked regularly for spoke tightness and rim
alignment. Wheels should rotate smoothly without wobbling from side to side.
Check the bearing play of the hubs by lifting the bicycle and spinning the wheel.
The wheel should continue to spin for several turns and finally cease spinning.
To check the play of the hubs, try to move the rim from side to side between the
forks. During this test, no substantial play should exist. If you detect play or if
the wheel is difficult to turn, the hub bearings must be adjusted.
Please contact a local bicycle dealer to have the hub bearings adjusted, or call
our service department LEVT at 1-(866) 742-6274.
Rims
The tires must be smooth and without cracks, breaks or bulges.
Spokes
Check spoke tension regularly. Approximately the same tension should be
applied to all spokes. If there is minor loosening of the spokes, you may tighten
the nipples, but it is recommended that you take the bicycle to a bicycle
mechanic. If you detect a loose spoke or if the rim has a side play of more than
4mm (1/8 inch), immediately have the wheel trued by a bicycle mechanic.
RIDING WITH LOOSE SPOKES MAY CAUSE THE WHEEL TO FAIL.
