CHAPTER ONE
Guide to Safe On-and-Off Road Operation
Make sure your bicycle fits you properly.
Your Gary Fisher dealer should fit you with the
proper size of bicycle.
Make sure there is adequate top tube clearance.
There should be at least one inch (25mm)
clearance between the top tube and the rider
when standing over the bicycle (Figure 1.1). For
mountain bikes, two to three inches (50-75mm)
clearance is recommended.
Some models have maximum weight limits:
Tricycle
Tricycle
80lbs. (36kg.)
Adjust the seat and handlebar.
The seat and handlebars may be adjusted to
offer the best comfort and performance. Before
making these adjustments, refer to Chapter 3.
Know how your bicycle performs.
The features of your bicycle, if misused, may cause you to
lose control of the bike. These features give you better comfort,
control, pedaling efficiency, and stopping power.
Practice at slow speeds first.
Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions, learn the
function and performance of all the mechanisms of your bike by
riding at slower speeds in a flat, empty parking lot.
If you want your bicycle to perform differently, or if you
have special needs that require different parts for the safe
operation of your bike, consult your Gary Fisher dealer. As
an example, the stopping power on Gary Fisher bikes varies
according to the intended use of the bike. If you would like
your bike to have more, or less, stopping power, consult your
Gary Fisher dealer about brake adjustments or other brake
options for your bicycle.
