Giant Bicycle Owner’s information:
1. FIRST:
NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this Manual in its entirety before your first ride; but at the very least, read and make sure that you understand
each point in this section, and refer to the cited sections on any issue which you don’t completely understand.
A. Bike fit
1. Is your bike the right size? To check, see Section 3.A. If your bicycle is too large or too small for you, you may lose control and fall. If your
new bike is not the right size, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.
2. Is the saddle at the right height? To check, see Section 3.B. If you adjust your saddle height, make sure that you follow the Minimum Insertion
instructions in Section 3.B.
3. Are saddle and seatpost securely clamped? A correctly tightened saddle will allow no saddle movement in any direction. See Section 3.B for
details.
4. Are the stem and handlebars at the right height for you? If not, see Section 3.C on what you can do about it.
5. Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, you may be able to adjust their angle and reach. See Section 3.D and 3.E for details.
6. Do you fully understand how to operate your new bicycle? If not, before your first ride, have your dealer explain any functions or features
which you do not understand.
B. Safety first
1. Always wear an approved helmet when riding your bike, and follow the helmet manufacturer instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet.
2. Do you have all the other required and recommended safety equipment? See Section 2. It your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the
laws of the areas where you ride, and to comply with all applicable laws.
3. Do you know how to correctly operate your wheel quick releases? Check Section 4.A.1 to make sure. Riding with an improperly adjusted
wheel quick release can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle, and cause serious injury or death.
4. If your bike has toe-clips and straps or clipless (step-in pedals, make sure you know how they work (see Section 4.E). These pedals require
special techniques and skills. Follow the pedal manufacturer instructions for use, adjustment and care.
