your bike without eliminating any defect or carrying out the necessary adjust-
ments can result into an accident, fatal injury or even death.

nished parts at your suspension fork or any
other part of your bicycle? If so, please consult
a trained and qualified bicycle mechanic to
check your fork or bike.
