Warning! Using your bicycle for any other than its design purpose may lead to severe injuries, and even death. If you have purchased a children's bicycle, make sure you will teach your child to use the bicycle correctly, and more particularly the brakes.

Warning! Except in some countries such as the United Kingdom, the brake lever on the left-hand side of the handlebar works the front brake and the brake lever on the right-hand side of the handlebar works the rear brake. Before using your bicycle for the first time, check which brake lever works upon which brake.

Caution! Like all mechanical items, a bicycle supports high stresses and wears out. The different constructional materials and components may react differently to wear and tear or to fatigue. After reaching its anticipated service life, any component may break suddenly, causing serious injuries to the cyclist. Cracks, scratches and discolorations in highly stressed areas are signs that a component has exceeded its useful life and need replacement

IMPORTANT WARNING: We strongly recommend that maintenance and overhauls be carried out by your dealer. Above frequencies are given for guidance only and apply to normal conditions of use. Mountain bike maintenance intervals should be shorter, in consideration of their intensive use.

Preparing the bicycle for riding

Setting of the seat height

This value is calculated by multiplying the inside leg, as measured with the shoeware to be worn when riding the bicycle, by coefficient 0.885. The product is the distance from the centre of the saddle to the centreline of the bottom bracket axle screw. To adjust the seat height, release the seat pin, move the seat pillar as necessary, retighten the seat pin.

IMPORTANT WARNING: For your safety, the reference mark on the seat pillar (horizontal) mark indicating the maximum permissible adjustment of the seat should never be above the top edge of the seat tube.

Setting of the handlebar height For a comfortable position on the bicycle, that would induce neither neck pain nor backache, we recommend the use of the settings tabulated below.

Seat height	Offset with handlebar height
65/68 cm	5/6 cm
69/72 cm	6/7 cm
73/76 cm	7/8 cm
77/79 cm	8/9 cm
80/82 cm	9/10 cm

IMPORTANT WARNING: For traditional stems, the manufacturer-specified height shall by no means be exceeded.

- Suspension setting (SAG)

General definition of SAG: In the simple case of a helical spring, SAG is the ratio of the spring deformation under a given load to the no-load spring length.

For the case under consideration (suspension bicycles), SAG is the ratio of:

1. The vertical movement of the bottom bracket axle due to the rider weight in rider's usual position on the bicycle, with the fork, frame and shock absorber in any position;

2. The maximum vertical movement of the bottom bracket axle that the fork, frame and shock absorber permit.

For your guidance, correct SAG values range from 15% to 35% .

To determine the correct SAG value, refer to the specific suspension fork and frame shock absorber instructions supplied with the bicycle.

- Tightening torques for bolted joints

On assembling any parts, always use the appropriate wrenches and apply no more than the required hand driving force. Bolts and/or nuts must be replaced if their threads are found damaged when screwing them on or off. The following table shows the tightening torques for various screw sizes, unless otherwise expressly stated.

Screw size

Recommended tightening torque (daN-m)

M4x0,7 0,3-0,4

M5x0,8 0,6-0,8

M6x1 1-1,4

M8x1,25 2,5-3,5

M8x1 2,7-3,8

M10x1,5 4,9-6,9

M10x1,25 5,2-7,3

- Testing the braking distance

Before getting on your bike, check both front and rear brakes for perfect condition. Any cable worn out must be replaced immediately.

It is recommended that both brakes are applied simultaneously, in order to prevent falls, above all on humid roadways.

The braking distance on a wet surface is approximately 40% longer than on a dry one.

WARNING! The use of streamlining extensions or accessories attached to the handlebars may negatively affect the response time on braking or turning.

- Cleaning

To keep your bicycle in good conditions, take the following elementary precautions:

o Remove dust and mud with a wet sponge and a soft detergent. Do not use solvents or very alkaline detergents when cleaning painted parts.
o Plastic components should be cleaned only with soapy water.

GB

o Tyres may be cleaned with a sponge or a brush and soapy water.
o Dry up the bicycle with a cloth or chamois.
o Lubricate the chain drive, after each cleaning process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of high-pressure cleaners should be avoided. Under no circumstances shall a steam jet be used.

BASIC SETTINGS

Fitting of pedals

RHS pedal: The RHS pedal is identified by letter R marked on its pin. For mounting the pedal, screw on the pin clockwise (Fig. A).

LHS pedal: The LHS pedal is identified by letter L marked on its pin. For mounting the pedal, screw on the pin anticlockwise (Fig. B).

- Setting of handlebar stem

Conventional stem: Back off the stem fixing screw. Tap softly to unblock the taper ring. Adjust to the desired height. Retighten the stem fixing screw.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Check that the minimum inset mark is not visible.

Adjusting the handlebar position: Release the handlebar fixing screw. Turn the handlebar to the desired angle. Retighten the fixing screw.

owners manua

Ahead stem: To adjust height, remove the cap and stem, by loosening the fixing screw and pinch bolts. Next, insert spacers under or above the stem as required. Retighten the stem cap first, until the steering column turns adequately. Finally, tighten the pinch bolts.

IMPORTANT WARNING: The distance from the top of the stem or upper spacer to the top of the steerer must be between 2 and 4mm

- Removing and fitting wheels

Removing: Loosen the brake caliper by releasing or slackening the brake cable. Pull the release lever from position A to position B. Manually back off the adjusting nut. Remove the wheel.

Fitting: Insert the wheel axle deep into the slot of the fork end (front wheel) or of the frame (rear wheel), with the release lever in the 'unlock' position. Tighten the adjusting nut slightly. Put the release lever in position A.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Locking the lever requires a significant manual force. Otherwise, tighten the nut further. If the lever moves with a minimum manual force, it is not tight enough. Drive the adjusting nut tighter.

- Seat height

Adjusting the seat height: Introduce the seat pillar in the seat tube. When the seat is at the desired height, tighten the seat pin or fixing screw.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The minimum inset mark should never be, if there is to be a minimum safety length of the seat pillar in the seat

- Installing stabilisers

For perfect service, this safety device requires adequate fitting and setting.

FITTING: Various stabiliser-mounting systems are available. They must be fixed to the rear of the bicycle (to the rear hub or frame). Refer to specific instruction manual supplied with the bicycle.

SETTING: With a view to improving the bicycle stability in turns, adjust the installed stabilisers in such a way that the stabiliser wheels clear the ground by 1 cm to 2.5 cm when the bicycle is in its vertical position.

MAINTENANCE

V-brake

Setting: While pressing the V-brakes against the rim, adjust the brake shoe by changing washer B (3mm or 6 mm) so that distance A is not less than 39 mm.

With the shoe pressed against the rim, tighten the shoe fixing nut with a 5mm Allen wrench. The distance from the shoe to the top edge of the rim should be 1 mm. Torque to 6-8 Nm.

Pull the cable to adjust the gap between the left and right shoes to 2mm . Tighten the cable fixing bolt using a 5mm Allen wrench. Torque to 6-8 Nm.

own er's manuai

Finally adjust the balance, with the spring tension adjusting screws, in such a way that each shoe clears the rim by 1mm.

Cantilever brake

Setting: Release the shoe fastener. Pull the cable taut, bringing the transverse cable in line with the yoke. Lock the main cable at the back the yoke. Adjust the balance by means of the spring tension adjusting screws.

Apply the brake shoes onto the rim and adjust the height until the bolt is perpendicular to the rim. Move the shoes 1mm back and secure them. Undo the cable fixing bolt and slacken the cable 2mm to obtain a 1mm gap between the rim and the shoe.

If the balance requires finer adjustment, turn the cable tension adjusting screws (barrel) at the brake lever.

Check that the bottom of the external plate of the cage clears the top of the big chainwheel teeth by 1 to 3mm .

Low gear stop adjustment: With the chain over the smallest chainwheel and largest sprocket, turn the low gear stop screw until the distance between the chain and the inside plate of the cage is 1 to 3mm

High gear stop adjustment: With the chain over the largest chainwheel and smallest sprocket, turn the high gear stop screw until the distance between the chain and the outside plate of the cage is 1 to 3mm .

Indexing adjustment: With the chain over the middle chainwheel, turn the cable tension adjusting screw (adjusting barrel) clockwise if the chain touches the inside plate of the cage or counterclockwise if the chain is in contact with the outside plate of the cage.

Low limit adjustment

High limit adjustment

High and low limit stop adjustment: This is done with screws A and B. Turn the two screws in order that the chain will not jump off. The shift roller will be in line with the smallest and largest sprockets.

Indexing adjustment: Move the shifter to the second click. Turn the cable tension adjusting screw (barrel) till you get a perfect match on the second sprocket.

- Shifting

For better results and in order to prevent damage to the drive system, it is recommended that you should not stress the pedals when shifting. So, avoid shifting when making an effort or riding uphill.

Do not use extreme ratios: smaller chainwheel linked to either of the two smallest sprockets; larger chainwheel linked to any of the two largest sprockets; central chainwheel linked to either the largest or the smallest sprocket. These settings may cause both a lateral distortion of the chain that will impair the proper operation of the shifter and premature wear of the drive components.

To improve performance when changing gears, follow the following recommendations:

• When going uphill, use the gear combinations shown in Figure 1.
• When going up gentle slopes, or on the flat, use the gear combinations shown in figure 2.
• When descending, use the gear combinations shown in figure 3.

Tyre pressure

Tyre pressure shall be as indicated on the tyre outside. Pressures are stated in PSI or bar, with the maximum permissible value shown. Mind that 14 psi are equal to 1 bar and 1 bar = 1 kg/cm2. Underinflated tyres are more subject to pinch flats (or "snakebites") and may cause damage to the rim. Excessive tyre pressure may reduce the tread's ground adhesion.

Always change the tires when they reach their wear limit. A good tread is essential to a comfortable ride and safe braking.

- Replacement parts

To keep your bicycle in the best possible working condition and for your safety, it is very important to only use original spare parts.

Replacement of wear parts

The usual wear parts are tires, inner tubes, brake pads, discs and shoes, and the rims when they are part of the braking system. Light bulbs, batteries and their installation.

Tires: Change them for identical or equivalent ones. See the mark on the outside of the tire (Norm E.T.RTO).

Please note that if the outside diameter of the replacement tire is greater than the original tire size, you may touch the front wheel or mudguard with the tip of your feet when turning. As a result, you may lose control of the bicycle and be seriously injured. The same may happen if you change the crankset for longer ones.

Tubulars: For a perfect fit on the rims, tubulars must be inflated to a certain minimum pressure. Check the recommended pressures in the instruction manuals of the rim and tubular manufacturer. Also, mind the assembly methods the manufacturer recommends.

Inner tubes: replace with an equivalent type of inner tube that is compatible with the tyre. The make can be found on the outside of the inner tube (E.T.R.T.O. Standard).

4 Brake shoes: Check brake shoe wear periodically. When the control grooves are invisible, change the shoes for others of same type and dimensions.

Brake pads and discs: Refer to the manufacturer's specific manuals supplied with the bicycle.

Rims: If the rims are part of the bicycle braking system (the shoes operate on the rims) they can wear excessively. Check the control marks on the rims regularly, and change the rims for others of same type and dimensions as and when necessary.

Light bulbs and their installation: Replace with an equivalent type of bulb. Refer to the markings on the metal part of the bulb.

Batteries: Replace with an equivalent type. Refer to the markings on the outside of the battery.
