Bike Safety Testing - Mondraker Thundra R Manual De Usuario

2.2 Bike safety testing

WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and their components more complex,
and the pace of innovation is increasing. This constant evolution means it is impossible for this
manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle.
In order to minimise the chances of an accident and possible injury, it is essential that you have
any repair or maintenance which is not specifically described in this manual performed by
your Mondraker dealer. It is equally important to remember that your individual maintenance
requirements will be determined by everything from your riding style to geographic location.
Consult your dealer for help in determining your maintenance requirements.
Before riding your bike it is essential that you quickly check its safety systems and releases. They may
have come loose on your previous ride or you might have forgotten to tighten them after taking the bike
apart to transport it.
Every bolt and nut mounted on the bike has its specific torque value. The correct tightening force or torque
cannot be generalised for all these parts. Normally the manufacturer indicates the recommended torque
values on its component. Nevertheless, below are the standard torque values of every component.
WARNING: Correct tightening force on fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws – on your bicycle is
important. Too little force and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much force and the
fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening force can
result in component failure which can cause you to lose control and fall.
