CHAPTER THREE

Inspection, Adjustment & Lubrication

Every month

check that both hub bearings are properly

adjusted. Lift the front end of the bicycle off the ground with

one hand and attempt to move the rim laterally, left to right.

Look, feel, and listen for any looseness in the hub bearings.

Spin the wheel, and listen for any grinding or other unusual

noises. If the hub feels loose or makes any noise, the hub needs

an adjustment. Repeat these procedures for the rear wheel.

Every month,

check your rims for wear. On adult-size

bicycles there may be wear indicators in the braking surface,

either a continuous indented band or several small spherical

indentations at even intervals around the rim. If the braking

surface has worn so that any part of these indicators is no

longer visible, have your dealer replace the rim.

Before installing tires

make sure a rim strip is in place

which completely covers the rim web (wall to wall) so that all

spoke holes are completely covered.

Adjustment

To adjust wheel bearings

This procedure requires special tools and training, so should

only be done by your Gary Fisher dealer.

Quick-release adjustment and closure

For proper and safe adjustment of a quick-release, read and

follow these instructions carefully.

WARNING

Make sure the rim strip covers all of the spoke holes or spoke

heads. If they are exposed, the inner tube could be punctured

and lose air suddenly causing you to lose control and fall.

Make sure the rim strip properly covers all spoke holes.

WARNING

A quick-release that is not properly adjusted and closed may

allow the wheel to be loose or come off unexpectedly, causing

you to lose control and fall. Make sure the quick-release is

adjusted and closed properly before riding the bike.
