BEFORE YOU CRUISE ON THE CELARIS
THE FIRST RIDE
Take a few moments to do a cross-check on your bike. We encourage you to make this a habit so that every ride is a great ride. By following this simple checklist, you’ll ensure that your bike is safe to operate. If your bike fails this simple inspection, take your bike to a dealer for service. Never ride a bike with damaged parts.
Wheels and Tires
Make sure all axle bolts are tight and that wheels are centered in their mounts.
Visually inspect the tires for wear, dry rot, cuts; abrasions, or any other signs of damage. Slightly elevate the bike and spin the wheels to assure they are straight. If the tires or wheels are improperly mounted or damaged, take your bike in for service.
Handlebar and Stem
Ensure that the stem is in alignment with the front wheel. Check the tightness of the stem by locking the front wheel between your knees, and turning the handlebars left and right. Make sure no cables are pinched or stretched during rotation. Check the tightness of the handlebar in the stem by attempting to rotate the handlebar. Ensure hand grips are properly mounted.
If any part of the handle bar or stem fails inspection, take your bike to a mechanic for service.
Seat and Seat Post
Check that the seat is aligned with the centre line of the bike’s frame and that it is tightly secured on the seat post. Grasp the front of the seat and try to move it up and down. If the seat moves or is loose on the seat post. Seat adjustment instructions for the seat and seat post can be found in the section titled Seat Height and Angle.
Brakes
Squeeze the hand brake, the lever and brake should both move freely, and the brake should grip the front tire snugly and prevent movement. When fully squeezed, the brake handle should not touch the handlebar. Release the hand brake, and check that the brake pads have at least 1 mm of clearance from the front wheel rim on both sides. If either brake is not working, take your bike to a mechanic for service.
It is perfectly normal for the brakes to feel a bit stiff. They will loosen up nicely as your enjoy your Celaris.
Lubrication
Ensure the chain moves smoothly by using a list oil every month. Ask your bicycle dealer for advise on how to do this if uncertain.
Lock
Protect your Celaris with a top-flight bicycle lock. Use it everywhere every time. The Celaris is a reliable friend and a coveted bicycle.
RIDING SAFETY TIPS
We know how versatile the Celaris can be and how different riders will put it through different paces.
We invite you to consider the following safety tips to enhance your ride and increase your safety on the road. A mindful ride is the best ride.
Be mindful of other cyclists, motor vehicles, and pedestrians.
Watch for obstacles in your path which could cause damage to you or your bike such as potholes, cracked pavement, debris or oil residue.
Always wear a helmet.
Ensure your helmet is properly fitted to your head, and always secure the chin-strap. It is advisable to always wear eye protection as well.
Use your brakes carefully.
Always maintain a safe stopping distance from other vehicles, objects and pedestrians. Adjust your stopping distance to suit riding conditions. Always brake by using both front an rear hand brakes in unison when stopping for better control over the bike.
Use proper shifting technique.
Shifting gears with an internal gearing system is best performed while coasting, or with a minimum of force on the pedals. If you must shift while pedaling, reduce the pressure applied to the pedals.
Know and observe local bicycling rules.
Local ordinances vary on requirements for helmet use, lights and reflectors, and riding practices. Be aware of requirements for equipment and riding practices, and follow them.
Always use safe riding practices.
Ride in designated bike lanes where available. Use hand signals. When riding in low light conditions, ensure that all reflectors and lights are clean and serviceable. Obey all traffic signals. Always ride with the flow of traffic.
Please remember that, as with all mechanical components, a bicycle endures wear and tear. Different materials and components can react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it can suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicates that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.
PLEASE CONSULT THE WARRANTY.
