General warninG and safety advice: Cycling can sometimes be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance
of your bicycle is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many
“Warnings” and “Cautions” which highlight the importance of inspecting and maintaining your bicycle that
you should pay particular attention to.
Even if you’ve been riding a bike all your life, you probably need an updating of your bicycling habits,
knowledge and assumptions. Why? Because bicycles are going through some pretty dramatic changes in
technology which affect function, handling, comfort, performance and safety.
It is compulsory to wear a safety standards approved helmet while cycling.
We recommend you use only authorised components or accessories to ensure your safety.
Quick release: Proper operation of the quick release is essential to safe riding. Check the quick release before every ride
and make sure it is properly secured. If it is not properly secured, the front wheel may wobble or disengage
from the bicycle, which may result in serious injury. If you do not fully understand the quick release
operation, see your Avanti Dealer.
note for parents:Young children may not be able to ride a bicycle without assistance of some kind. Some children may
need training wheels to help develop balance and control skills. When installing training wheels on a
bicycle, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and check chain tension and brake operation before
allowing a child to ride a bicycle. It is important that all children master the skills necessary to stop the
bicycle when required. It is necessary that all children master this and all other bicycle handling and safety
related skills before being allowed to ride without an adult.
carbon crash replacement policy:Carbon has unique qualities that enable it to be light and strong in a variety of riding conditions. However,
in the case of a crash, collision or general impact where the force is absorbed by your carbon frame and/
or components we highly recommend you replace the frame or components concerned even if there is
no sign of damage. At the very least your bike should be inspected by a qualified bicycle technician at an
Avanti dealer. Avanti has a carbon crash replacement programme in place that subsidises replacement
costs in a crash or collision situation. To benefit from this programme or to learn more please contact your
Avanti dealer.

how the parts of your bike workremovinG and installinG Quick release wheels
warninG: Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can allow the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle, causing damage to the bicycle and serious injury or death to the rider. Therefore, it is essential that you:
1. Ask your Avanti Dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and remove your wheels safely.
2. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place with a quick release.
3. Each time, before you ride the bike, check that the wheel is securely clamped.
a. removinG a Quick release front wheel:
1) Open up the brake shoes
2) Rotate the wheel quick release lever from the locked or CLOSED position to the OPEN position
(fig.1).
3) If your front fork does not have a secondary retention device, go to step 5.
4) If your front fork has a clip on type secondary retention device, disengage it.
5) If your front fork has an integral secondary retention device, loosen the tension adjusting nut about six
full turns.
6) Raise the front wheel a few centimetres off the ground and tap the top of the wheel with the palm of
your hand to knock the wheel out of the front fork.

b. installinG a Quick release front wheel:
1) Rotate the quick release lever so that it curves away from the wheel
(fig. 2B). This is the OPEN position.
2) With steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between the fork
blades so the axle seats firmly at the top of the slots which are at the
tips of fork blades. The quick release lever should be on the left side of
the bicycle (fig. 1). If your bike has a clip on type secondary retention
device, engage it.
3) Holding the quick-release lever in the OPEN position with your right
hand, tighten the tension adjusting nut with your left hand until it is
finger tight against the fork dropout (fig. 2).
4) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork
dropouts and at the same time centering the wheel rim in the fork,
rotate the quick release lever upwards and push it into the CLOSED
position (figs. 1 and 2A). The lever should be parallel to the fork blade
and curved toward the wheel.
caution: If you can fully close the quick release without wrapping your fingers around the fork blade 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, and then
try again.
5) If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to the fork blade, return the lever to the
OPEN position. Then turn the tension adjusting nut counterclockwise one quarter turn and try tightening
the lever again. Close the brake shoes, then spin the wheel to make sure it is centred in the frame and
clears the brake shoes.
warninG: Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release
adjustment. Failure to properly adjust the quick release mechanism can cause the
wheel to wobble or disengage, which could result in serious injury.

c. removinG a Quick release rear wheel:
1) Open up the brake shoes.
2) Shift the rear derailleur to the outermost gear (the smallest, rear sprocket) and pull the derailleur body
back with your right hand.
3) Rotate the quick-release lever to the OPEN position (fig. 2B)
4) Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few centimetres and with the derailleur still pulled back, push the
wheel forward and down until it comes out of the rear dropouts.
d. installinG a Quick release rear wheel:
1) Shift the rear derailleur to its outermost position and pull the derailleur body back with your right hand.
2) Rotate the quick release lever to the OPEN position (see fig. 2A). The levers should be on the side of the
wheel opposite the derailleur and freewheel sprockets.
3) Put the chain on top of the smallest freewheel sprocket. Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts
and pull it all the way into the dropouts (fig. 3).
4) Tighten the adjusting nut until it is finger tight against the frame dropout; then rotate the lever toward
the front of the bike until it is parallel to the frames chainstay or seatstay tube and is curved toward the
wheel (fig. 2A and 3).
warninG:
If you can fully close the quick release without wrapping your fingers around the
chainstay or seatstay 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 and then try again.
5) If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to the chainstay or seatstay tube, return
the lever to the OPEN position. Then turn the adjusting nut counterclockwise one quarter turn and try
again.
6) Push the rear derailleur back into position.
7) Close the brake shoes; then spin the wheel to make sure it is centred in the frame and clears the brake
shoes.
NOTE: Once the quick release is installed in the hub axle by the manufacturer or the Avanti Dealer, it never
needs to be removed unless the hub itself requires servicing. If the hub requires servicing, consult your
Avanti Dealer.
removinG and installinG bolt on front and rear wheels
a. removinG a bolt-on front wheel:
1) Open up the brake shoes
2) With the correct box wrench or a six inch adjustable wrench, loosen the two axle nuts. (see fig. 4)
3) If your front fork has a clip on type secondary retention device, disengage it and go to step 4. If your
front fork has an integral secondary retention device, loosen the axle nuts about six full turns, then go to
step 4.
4) Raise the front wheel a few centimetres off the ground and tap the top of the wheel with the palm of
your hand to knock the wheel out of the fork ends.
b. installinG a bolt-on front wheel:
1) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between the fork blades so the axle seats firmly
at the top of the slots which are at the tips of the fork blades. The axle nut washers should be on the
outside, between the fork blade and the axle nut. If your bike has a clip on type secondary retention
device, engage it.
2) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts and at the same time centring
the wheel rim in the fork, use the correct box wrench or a six inch adjustable wrench to tighten the axle
nuts firmly.
3) Close the brake shoes; then spin the wheel to make sure that it is centred in the frame and clears the
brake shoes.

3) With the correct box wrench or a six inch adjustable wrench, tighten the two axle nuts firmly.
wheels and tyres
wheel inspection:
The condition of the wheels and their relationship to your brakes performance are very important. The best
maintenance for a wheel is preventive maintenance. If you are aware of the things that can go wrong, you
may be able to stop trouble before it happens. Watch for these potential problems.
Dirty or greasy rims can render your brakes ineffective. Do not clean rims with solvent. This can leave an oily
film. Wipe your rims with a clean rag or wash them with soap and water, rinse and let them air dry. Do not
ride while wet. When lubricating your bike, be sure not to get oil on the braking surfaces.
Bicycle wheels must withstand great force and weight. Spokes need to be tightened to the correct
tension of your wheels to be both round and centred within the bicycle frame. Because wheel truing is a
complicated procedure, we recommend that you take your bicycle to your local Avanti Dealer.
tyres:
Bicycle tyres are available in many designs and specifications, ranging from general purpose designs to
tyres designed to perform best under very specific weather or terrain conditions. Your bicycle has been
equipped with tyres which the manufacturer felt were the best balance of performance and value for
the use for which the bike was intended. Once you’ve gained experience with your new bike and feel
that a different tyre might better suit your riding needs, your Avanti Dealer can help you select the most
appropriate design.
The size, pressure rating and on some high performance tyres the specific recommended use are
marked on the side wall of the tyre (see fig. 6). The part of this information which is most important to you
is tyre pressure.

e. tensioninG your chain:
The chain must be at the correct tension. If it’s too tight the chain will be difficult to pedal and if it’s too
if you break a spokeA wheel with a loose or broken spoke is much weaker than a fully tensioned wheel. If you break a spoke
while on a ride, you will have to ride home much more slowly and carefully because the weakened wheel
could break additional spokes and become useless.
warninG: A broken spoke seriously weakens the wheel and may cause it to wobble, striking the
brakes or the frame. Riding with a broken spoke can cause you to lose control and fall.
Twist the broken spoke around the spoke next to it to keep it from flopping around and getting caught
between the wheel and the frame. Spin the wheel to see if the rim clears the brake shoes. If the wheel will
not turn because it is rubbing against a brake shoe, try turning the brake cable adjusting barrel(s) clockwise
to slacken the cable and open up the brakes. If the wheel still won’t turn, open the brakes quick release and
secure any loose cable as best you can. Walk the bike.

if you crash:
warninG: A crash can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components and frames causing them to
fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly, causing
loss of control or serious injury.
First, check yourself for injuries and take care of them as best you can. Next, check your bike for damage
and fix what you can.
Then, when you get home carefully perform a 60 second safety check for any other damaged parts. All
bent, scored or discoloured parts are suspect and should be replaced by your Avanti dealer.
caution: If you have any doubt about the condition of the bicycle or any of its parts, take it to your Avanti
Dealer for a thorough check.
travellinG with your bikeby car
There are a few options for transporting your bike with your vehicle. The decision on what rack or carrying
device to buy or use is dependent on a few things also. They include:
1. How often do you transport the bicycle? If you only need temporary or occasional transport, maybe an
affordable or basic system is necessary. If you need something on a daily or weekly basis. You might want
to invest in some thing that will withstand the workload over a longer time period.
2. Is there more than one bicycle? This also applies to the above. With the extra load applied to a rack,
invest in a good system. Some are better designs than others, take your time and tell your dealer your
needs. Just watch your packing skills if loading more than one bike at a time. Take care not to scratch
paint or have bikes rubbing together, especially tyre sidewalls!
3. How big is your vehicle? If you have a large vehicle, you may be able to get away with simply laying the
bike in the rear of a station wagon or in the rear of a van. Or if you have boot or trunk, it may just take
some time in removing the wheels, wrapping the bike in a blanket and lying wheels on top of blanket.
Watch that the rear derailleur doesn’t knock on anything and displace your gears when you get to your
ride meeting place or home.
4. Shape of vehicle. your vehicle or your lifestyle will have an impact on your rack system also. If you have a
wagon or SUV that the rear door needs to open regularly - maybe a tow bar rack is not the answer. You
may need to look at a roof rack system.
5. Ease of mounting bicycle on vehicle. This should also be considered when purchasing a rack. If you
have a high roofed vehicle, you have to consider the disadvantages of this. E.g. Extra fuel consumption,
loading of bicycles, bikes staying clean and overhead clearances. If your bike is tow bar mounted, be
careful not to place wheels or tyres directly next to exhaust pipe, this can quickly cause tyre damage and
in some cases the inner tube to explode.
6. How does the bicycle attach to the rack? The tow bar mounted rack is simple and can have several
versions. They can come with lock down clamps, hooks or bars that you need to tie down with bungy
cords. Roof racks come mainly in two forms. A fork mounted system where the front wheel is removed
and the fork is quick release mounted. Or the entire bike is clamped by an arm that clamps to the down
tube or seat tube and both wheels are clamped.

avanti bike service plan We recommend your Avanti bicycle gets serviced regularly by an Avanti Dealer.
Within 6 weeks of purchasing your bike - Bring your bike in for a FREE service check. The Avanti dealer
will adjust your bike’s gears, brakes and ensure components are running smoothly (does not include
replacement parts that may be required).
At 6 months we recommend a full service. Your Avanti dealer at this point can evaluate the wear of your
bike and will conduct routine safety check.
At 12 months and every 6 months thereafter your bike should periodically be serviced.
This timeframe will depend on the frequency you ride and the conditions you ride in and we recommend
you discuss this timing with your Avanti dealer but six months is a good rule of thumb.
These are important safety checks and very important to help prevent cycling accidents and ensure the life
cycle of your Avanti bicycle is maximised.
To receive maximum benefit and enjoyment out of your bicycle we recommend you follow our Avanti Bike
Service Plan over the page. Servicing a bike on a regular basis not only provides you an ongoing safety
check, but enhances the life of the bike as well.
Complete this section and bring this book in each time you get your bike serviced.
