WARNING! Warning! This Bike has been designed, assembled and tested in accordance with the BS EN16054, max rider weight 70kg. To make sure the bike remains safe, it should only be used for recreational use. Under no circumstances should it be used for competitive cycling, stunting, jumping or acrobatic manoeuvres. These types of cycling may result in serious personal injury and damage to the bike.

WARNING! Always wear a cycle helmet when riding the bike. The helmet should be the correct size for your head and must conform to the European Standard EN1078:2012+A1:2012.

WARNING! When riding in the dark, always make sure that the bike is fitted with suitable reflectors and use a white front light and a red rear light.

WARNING! Always take extra care when riding in wet, foggy, windy or icy conditions. The brakes may not be as effective and the braking distances may be increased.

WARNING! Always wear suitable cycling clothing when riding the bike. Loose clothing which may get caught in moving parts should be avoided.

WARNING! Warning! This bike is only suitable for use by riders (including any panniers and/or luggage) with a weight of less than 70 kg (154 lb)

WARNING! BMX pedals are designed to provide greater grip capability of the pedal tread surface than that provided by an ordinary bicycle pedal. This can result in the pedal tread surface being very rough and containing sharp edges. Riders should therefore wear adequate safety protection.

WARNING! When assembling the seat post, make sure it is inserted beyond the minimum insert mark. Failure to observe this warning may lead to a potentially unstable seat post and may result in serous personal injury.

WARNING! The front and rear tyres must be fully inflated before attempting to ride the bike. Under no circumstances should the tyres be inflated above the maximum pressure stated on the side of the tyres.

WARNING! Only inflate the front and rear tyres of the bike using a bicycle pump. Do not attempt to use another type of pump to inflate the tyres.

WARNING! As with all mechanical components, the bike is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear, stress or fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.

WARNING! Ensure only genuine replacement parts are used, especially for safety critical parts.

WARNING for rim wear-if your bicycle has rim brakes (brake's that slow the bike by pressing brake pads against the rim) you should regularly check the amount of wear on the rim wall. When the rim shows signs of wearning it is time to replace your wheels. Some wheels may have a wear groove to highlight where.

Before Riding

You should perform the following checks before riding your bike to ensure it is safe to use and operating correctly.

1. Is the Saddle Secure?

While standing next to the bike, try and move the saddle from side to side. If the saddle moves you should retighten the seat post bolt or the saddle clamp nuts.

2. Are the Front and Rear Tyres Inflated Correctly?

Squeeze the sides of the front and rear tyres. If they are soft they will need inflating. Re-inflate to the pressure indicated on the sides of the tyres using an approved bicycle pump.

3. Are the Pedals Tight?

Using the supplied multitool, ensure both the left and right pedals are fully tight. Remember that the threaded shafts of the left and right pedals tighten in different directions.

4. Do the Brakes Work?

Stand next to the bike and apply the front brake and push forwards. If the wheels move, the front brake may not be working correctly. If required, adjust the front brake as described in the Maintenance Manual.

Repeat the above check for the rear brake.

5. Do the Handlebars Move?

Hold the front wheel between your legs and try to move the handlebars. If the handlebars move, the stem bolt may have become loose. Retighten the stem bolt.

6. Is the Bike Clean?

The bike should be cleaned and re-oiled regularly to ensure it operates correctly.

Using the Brakes

The bike is fitted with front and rear brakes to stop the bike effectively.

The brakes are operated using two brake levers mounted on the handle bars. The left hand brake lever operates the rear brake and the right hand brake lever operates the front brake.

Riding Using Personal Music Players

It is recommended that personal music players are not used while riding a bike. These devices prevent you from hearing approaching vehicles and may prove to be a distraction.

Riding in Bad Weather

WARNING! Always take extra care when riding in wet, foggy, windy or icy conditions. The brakes may not be as effective and the braking distances may be increased.

When riding in bad weather i.e. wet, foggy, windy or icy, always wear bright, reflective clothing which is warm and waterproof.

You should always give other road users clear signals in plenty of time particularly when approaching junctions. Always brake earlier than you would in the dry as the required braking distance will be increased.

Be aware that all types of surface become greasy or slippery in bad weather. Do not turn or brake suddenly.

Riding in the Dark

WARNING! When riding in the dark, always make sure that the bike is fitted with suitable reflectors and a white front light and a red rear light.

It is essential that other road users can clearly see you when riding in the dark. Always wear bright, reflective clothing. Suitable reflectors should be fitted to the front and rear of the bike and if possible the wheels. A white light must be fitted to the front of the bike and a red light at the rear.

Before starting any journey in the dark or even twilight, ensure the lights are working correctly and are turned on.

Clean lights and reflectors regularly and make sure they can be seen from a distance.

Adjusting V-Brakes

Throughout the life of your bike, the front v-brake may need adjusting if the brake cable has stretched or the brake arms have been knocked during use.

Adjusting V-Brake Cable Tension

* THERE MAY BE SLIGHT VARIATIONS BETWEEN DRAWING AND ACTUAL COMPONENTS.

1b. Fine Tune the Cable Tension

Over time, the brake arms can begin to lean to one side, making the distance between the brake pads and the wheel rim uneven. This can be corrected by adjusting the spring tension of the individual brake arm.

NOTE! When adjusting the spring tension, even adjustments should be made to both brake arms until they are positioned evenly on either side of the wheel and rim.

1a. Adjusting the Spring Tension on the Right Hand Brake Arm.

If the brake arms L lean to the right (when viewed from the front of the bike), the right hand brake arm spring tension should be reduced. This can be achieved by turning the right spring tension screw M anti-clockwise.

If the brake arms L lean to the left (when viewed from the front of the bike), the right hand brake arm spring tension should be increased. This can be achieved by turning the right spring tension screw M clockwise.

1b. Adjusting the Spring Tension on the Left Hand Brake Arm.

If the brake arms L lean to the right (when viewed from the front of the bike), the left hand brake arm spring tension should be increased. This can be achieved by turning the left spring tension screw N clockwise.

If the brake arms L lean to the left (when viewed from the front of the bike), the left hand brake arm spring tension should be decreased. This can be achieved by turning the left spring tension screw N anti-clockwise.

U Brakes

These are the most common form of brakes found on BMX bikes. U-Brakes consist of two arms which are mounted to two points that are spring-loaded and cross each other above the tyre. When the lever is pulled the arms pivot about the mount points

1. Adjust the Cable Tension

Loosen the cable pinch bolt and pull or release the cable slightly.

2. Adjust Brake Arm Balance

Using a flat spanner and allen key, adjust the outer part of the brake arm mount bolts until the arms are balanced. The brake pads should be the same distance from the rim, and should return to the same point when released.

3. Brake Pads

Ensure the brake pads are aligned correctly with the rim.
