Riding your Durban

Using Gears

Bicycle gears are numbered from 1 upwards,

with 1 being the lowest (lighter) gear. If engaged,

the grip shifter on the right controls the rear

derailleur. The bicycle has six or seven gears. The

lower gears are used for going slower or uphill,

and the higher gears are used for going faster or

downhill. Test the gears in a safe place.

Before riding, go through all the gears and make

sure that they are all fully functioning. If gear shif-

ting is not smooth, we recommend you consult

your professional mechanic. If the rear derailleur

is malfunctioning, do not use the highest and

lowest gears because the chain may come off.

Make sure chain and cables are lubricated pro-

perly before riding.

Using Quick Releases and Latches

Quick releases hold wheels, seat post, handlebar

and handle post in place. When adjusted proper-

ly, the seat post, handle post and handlebars will

not rotate and the wheels will not come off.

Before riding, make sure that all quick releases

are tightly fastened. Lift each wheel and drop

to verify that it is tightly fastened to the frame

and fork. Gently try to rotate the handlebars and

saddle to check for firmness.

Slightly lift the bicycle and drop to test for tre-

mor, shake and stability of the frame (especially

the latches of the frame and the handle post).

WARNING

Make sure the frame latch and handle post latch

are properly adjusted and tightly closed before

riding the bicycle. Failing to do so can result in

injury or death.

Tip

To make your latch adjust to last longer,

you can apply a drop of threadlocker on the

screws used to adjust the latches after you find

the optimal adjust. We recommend you to use

bicycles

WARNING

Do not over tighten the stem bolt, handle post bolt,

handle post quick release or any other clamping

device.

Please take your bicycle to a professional mecha-

nic if you are not sure about quick releases and

latches operation or maintenance.
