H. Changing Components or Adding Accessories
There are many components and accessories available
to enhance the comfort, performance and appearance
of your bicycle. However, if you change components or
add accessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle’s
manufacturer may not have tested that component or
accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on your bicycle.
Before installing any component or accessory, including
a different size tire, make sure that it is compatible with
your bicycle by checking with your dealer. Be sure to read,
understand and follow the instructions that accompany the
products you purchase for your bicycle.

WARNING: Failure to conrm compatibility, properly install,
operate and maintain any component or accessory can result
in serious injury or death.

void the warranty. Refer to your warranty, and check with your
dealer before changing the components on your bike.

have your dealer make the adjustments on your bicycle; or,
if you have the experience, skill and tools, have your dealer
check your work before riding.
