B'Twin Bicycle User Manual - D. Adjusting Suspension

D. Adjusting suspension
Refer to the component manufacturer's recommendations on adjusting forks and suspension which can be found
on www.btwin.com.
For specific information about the NEUF system, visit www.btwin.com.
Warning:The suspension fork and shock absorbers must never be dismantled by the user. This procedure must be carried out by a
qualified mechanic.
E. Bike safety guidelines
For your safety, it is recommended that you wear a helmet and use protective equipment and or/signaling devices. This product,
and its use, must comply with current regulations. When cycling in the rain or on damp roads, grip and visibility are reduced and
braking distance is increased; the cyclist must, therefore, adapt speed and anticipate braking. Before using the bike, it's important
to check the condition of the wear parts for example the rims, brakes, tyres, steering mechanism and drive chain system; these
must be regularly checked, maintained and adjusted by a qualified and experienced mechanic.
Warning: Using automatic pedals can be tricky and requires a period of familiarisation to avoid falling off: engage and disengage
your shoes in the pedals before setting off. The interface between the cleat and the pedal can be affected by a number of factors
including dust, mud, lubrication, spring tension and general wear.
To adjust shoe straps refer to component manufacturer's recommendations which can be found on
www.btwin.com.
This procedure must be carried out by a qualified mechanic.
Warning: BMX pedals are designed to provide better grip over a larger surface area than the ordinary bike pedal. This means that
the pedals may have a rough surface and sharp edges. Cyclists are advised, therefore, to wear adequate protective equipment.
The use of aerodynamic or other types of handlebar extensions can also adversely affect the cyclist's response time when braking
and taking corners.
Tyre inflation, dimensions and mounting direction: inflate your tyres to the correct pressure, referring to the pressure range
indicated on the side of the tyre by the manufacturer; this is important in determining your tyre’s resistance to wear. Mount the
tyre in the direction indicated on the side (the arrows indicate the rotation direction).
Our bikes are not fitted with tubular tyres. If you are using tubular tyres, please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on how to
glue tubular tyres to the rim.
F. Maximum total permitted weight: Cyclist + bike + luggage
G. Guidance on national, legal requirements for cyclists
When using the bike on a public road, the cyclist must observe the national traffic regulations in force (lighting and signaling, for
example).
H. Recommended bolt torque values for the handlebar, stem, seat,
seat tube and wheels
To ensure the handlebars, stem, seat, seat post and wheels are correctly attached, you are advised to use the appropriate sized
spanner and tighten each component to the bike-specific torque value given below (in Nm):
You must not add bar ends.
To mount and set the tightening torques for aerodynamic add-ons, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
When adding stabilisers, see the manufacturer's instructions for mounting and adjustment guidance.
