Consult your authorized K2 Bike dealer if you are unsure about clipless pedal operation. Clipless Pedal Release ! Clipless Pedals If your bike is equipped with clipless pedals, it is important to familiarize yourself with their use. If you do not have previous experience with the system, practice entry and exit before you ride. Position your bike beside a wall and hold yourself up while you practice. Then, proceed to a flat, empty spot such as a field or parking lot for some easy ride practice. In addition: 1. Before attempting to click into your pedals, inspect the cleat surfaces on your shoes and the clip surfaces on the pedals to ensure there is no debris (mud, stones, etc.) that might interfere with the action of the system. Clipless Pedal Entry 2. To enter the pedals, place your foot on the pedal surface and move it until you feel the cleat begin to engage in the retention surface. Press down and you should hear a click to signal that you are locked into the pedal. Lift your foot gently to be sure your cleats are completely engaged. 3. To release from the pedals, twist your heel out away from the bike while keeping your foot level with the ground. Important: Always disengage at least one foot from the pedals before coming to a complete stop. Caution: Improper use of clipless pedals can be extremely dangerous, and can result in loss of control and severe injuries. Consult your authorized K2 Bike dealer if you are unsure about clipless pedal operation. ! D MAINTENANC. Lubrication In this section: 1. Chain: The drive chain has many moving parts and should be lubricated often. Remove excess dirt or grime and use • Lubrication a quality chain lube regularly. Wipe excess lube from the chain. Do not get any lube on the rims, as this will prohibit proper brake function. • Brakes 2. Derailleur and Brake Cables: It’s important that you periodically lubricate cables to ensure proper brake and shifter actuation. Your K2 Bike is equipped with slotted cable stops that allow you to remove cable housing from the frame. • Drive System Slide the housings along the cable wire and lubricate the portions of cables that are normally located within the housing. • Wheels and Tires 3. Brake and Derailleur Pivots: Every month you should put a few drops of lubricant on the brake and derailleur pivots. Be careful not to get any oil on the brake pads or rims. Wipe off excess oil before riding. • General Bicycle Maintenance 4. Wheel, Crank, and Headset Bearings:Once a year you should have your dealer inspect, lubricate, and adjust your bike. If you ride many miles, or frequently ride in off road or muddy conditions, have your bike checked more often. Brake. The brakes on your new K2 Bike should have been completely adjusted by your dealer when new. Due to cable stretch and pad wear during use, the brakes should be adjusted periodically. Don’t wait until the hand levers bottom out on the handlebars. It is safest to take your bike to an Authorized K2 Bike dealer for brake adjustment. Your authorized dealer has the training, experience, and proper tools to do the job. The following instructions are provided for the owners having sufficient knowledge and proper tools to do the job. 1. Loosen the barrel adjusting locknut and turn the adjuster counter clockwise until the brake pads are approximately 1.5 mm from the rim surface. Then tighten the adjusting barrel locknut to keep the adjuster in place. 2. If the adjuster is unscrewed all the way and you still have more than 1.5 mm of pad-to-rim clearance, turn the adjusting barrel clockwise all the way back into the holder. Loosen the cable anchor nut and hold the brake pads Brake Lever against the rim. Pull the cable through the anchor nut with pliers and retighten the cable anchor nut. Adjustment 3. Loosen the brake pad fixing bolt and adjust the pad toe in so that the rear of the pad is spaced 3 mm from the rim surface while the front of the pad has 1 mm of rim clearance. Retighten the pad fixing bolt Some bicycles areprovided with an adjustment for lever reach. By turning the lever adjustment screw clockwise, the levers can be adjusted closer to the handlebars for riders with smaller hands. Barrel adjusters are also provided to compensate for cable stretch. As the brake pads wear, the hand lever will get closer and closer to the bar before applying the brakes. Turn the barrel adjuster counter clockwise to compensate. When you have achieved the correct cable tension, tighten the barrel adjuster lock nut with your thumb and forefinger. ! CAUTION: If your brakes are not working properly, do not ride your bicycle. If you are at all unsure of how to adjust your brakes, Girvin strongly recommends that you take your bike to an authorized K2 Bike dealer for service. Improperly adjusted brakes can be extremely dangerous, and can result in failure during use and severe injuries. Drive Syste. It may be necessary to adjust shifters to compensate for cable stretch. We suggest that all adjustments be...
