[. . . ] A typical headset consists of two sets of ball bearings, two bearing cups attached to each end of the frame's head tube, bearing cones - one stationary and the other an adjusting cone, a key washer, and a lock nut. FRAME AND FORK Your HUSKY bicycle is classified as an "adult bicycle", suitable for riding on paved or hard packed dirt surfaces. Because of the special design of the frame and fork, this product offers maximum comfort at lower speed. The frame and fork is not designed for racing, jumping, riding over rough terrain, or climbing steep hills. The clamp's mechanism allows for the saddle position to be adjusted. Once you adjust the saddle's nose position for your maximum riding comfort, you should not need further adjustments. 15 16 The saddle's height can be adjusted by loosening the seat post binder bolt located on the frame's seat tube. To adjust the saddle height, twist and pull the seat post up to the desired point and tighten the binder bolt, making sure that the saddle's nose is straight. CAUSION: Do not raise the seat post above the maximum height stamped on the seat post. If the maximum height is not marked or not visible, make sure that at least 2-1/2" of the post remains inside the seat tube. Failure to observe the maximum height may result in serious injury, death, or damage to the bike. WHEELS, TIRES & TUBES It is important to check the condition of your wheels and tires frequently. About 70% of the overall performance of the bike depends on the condition of the wheels and tires. Inspect the wheels for visible signs of corrosion, dents, broken spokes, loose spokes, and wobbling. If a wheel wobbles during a ride or has gone out of round, you may need to "true" or replace the wheel. Truing a wheel is a complicated procedure and is best performed by experienced bicycle technicians. If you observe a loose spoke, you can tighten it by using a spoke nipple wrench. Axle bearings may need replacement or bearing cones may need adjustment. normally found at auto service stations as the high pressure may cause a blow out. Check the tire pressure using a pressure gauge specifically made for bicycles. When airing the tire, stop and make sure that the tire bead is properly seated in the rim. If any part of the tire is not seated well, let some air out, squeeze the sidewall while pressing the tire into the rim. Pedals should spin freely around the center spindle, which is attached to the crank arms. If pedals fail to spin or the spindle is not tightly attached to the crank arm, do not ride the bike until the pedal is secured to the crank arm. CRANK SET AND BOTTOM BRACKET The crank set and bottom bracket is the main driving component of the bicycle. [. . . ] Check the tire seating and make sure the bead is not hanging out of the edge of the rim. You can now inflate the tire to the proper pressure indicated on the sidewall. If you do not have a pressure gauge, inflate until you cannot press the tire in more than 1/8". Screw the valve cap on the valve and install the wheel back on the bike. [. . . ]
