TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the drop-outs (a) and whether the rims are still centred with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the wheels and observe the gap either between brake pads and rim sides or between frame and tyre. If you have rim brakes and the width of the gap changes markedly and you have no way to true the rim where you are, you need to open the brakes a little with the special device so that the rim can run between the brake pads without touching them. Note that in this case the brakes may not act as powerfully as you are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes, have the wheels trued by your URBAN JUNGLE dealer immediately after you are back home.
For more information see the chapters «Brakes», «Using quick-releases» and «Wheels and tyres» and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither twisted nor bent or broken and that they are level and aligned. Make sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork by trying to twist the handlebars relative to the front wheel (b). Briefly lean on the brake levers to make sure the handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently tighten the bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the components (c). The maximum torque values are printed directly on the components or specified in the manuals of the component manufacturers.
For more information see the chapters «Adjusting the URBAN JUNGLE bike to the rider» and «The headset on the URBAN JUNGLE bike» and the manuals of the component manu- facturers.
3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainwheels and the sprockets (d). If your URBAN JUNGLE bike fell over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning of the gears. Ask somebody to lift your URBAN JUNGLE bike by the saddle and carefully shift through all the gears.
