ENGLISH
This works exactly like the wheel quick release and
uses a cam action to firmly clamp the seat post inside
the frame seat tube. The amount of clamping force is
controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the
tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the
cam lever from rotating increases clamping force;
turning it counterclockwise while keeping the cam
lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less than
half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the
difference between safe and unsafe clamping force.
The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp
the seatpost securely. Holding the nut with one hand
and turning the lever like a wing nut with the other
hand until everything is as tight as you can get it will
not clamp the seatpost safely. If you can fully close
the quick release without wrapping your fingers
around the seat post or a frame tube for leverage,
and the lever does not
leave a clear imprint in
the palm of your hand,
the tension is insufficient.
Open the lever; turn the
tension adjusting nut
clockwise a quarter turn;
then try again.
Riding with an improperly
tightened seat post can
allow the saddle to turn
or move and cause you
to lose control and fall.
Ask a specialized bicycle dealer to help you make
sure you know how to correctly clamp your seat
post. Understand and apply the correct technique
for clamping your seat post quick release. Before
you ride your bicycle, first check that the seatpost is
securely clamped.
Brakes
Your IDEAL bicycle is equipped with reliable and
well-functioning brakes, provided they are correctly
adjusted and maintained. Riding with improperly
adjusted brakes or worn brake pads is extremely
dangerous and can result in serious injury.
Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock
up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control
and fall. Sudden or excessive application of the front
brake may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which
may result in serious injury.
Some bicycle brakes, such as disc brakes and
linearpull brakes, are extremely powerful. Take extra
care in becoming familiar with these brakes and
exercise particular care when using them.
Disc brakes can get extremely hot with extended use.
Be careful not to touch a disc brake until it has had
plenty of time to cool.
See the brake manufacturer’s instructions for
operation and care of your brakes. If you do
not have the manufacturer’s instructions, see a
specialized IDEAL bicycle dealer or contact the brake
manufacturer.
Brake Controls
Your IDEAL bicycle is pre-assembled and delivered
so that the right brake lever operates the rear
brake and the left lever the front brake, unless
there is a national law or regulation imposing the
opposite. It is very important for your safety that you
understandand remember which brake lever controls
which brake on your bicycle.
Your hands must be able to reach and pull the brake
levers comfortably. If this is not the case, check with
a specialized bicycle dealer. Most brake levers can
adjust their reach position. So either your brake
levers need reach adjustment or you need a different
brake lever design.
Most rim brakes nowadays have some form of quick
release mechanism which clears the brake pads
from the wheel rim, so that the wheel can easily be
removed or re-installed.
