Intended Use
CONDITION 2
This is a set of conditions for the operation of a bicycle that includes Condition 1 as well as unpaved and gravel roads
and trails with moderate grades. In this set of conditions, contact with irregular terrain and loss of tire contact with
the ground may occur. Drops are intended to be limited to 15cm (6") or less. Please see link to Bike Owner's Manual on
surlybikes.com/safety for complete list of riding condition descriptions.
WARNING:
• Do not use forks exceeding your frame's maximum axle-to-crown dimensions; see www.surlybikes.com and the product page for
posted maximum axle-to-crown requirements. Exceeding the maximum axle-to-crown will void the frame warranty and may result
in damage to or failure of the frame, causing serious injury.
• Always check for 6mm of clearance between the tire and frame, fork, or any accessories.
• Failure of a front rack or entanglement of cargo or straps in either wheel could stop the rotation of the wheel, causing a loss of
control or crash that could lead to serious injury. If you have a front rack mounted to your frame, check the security of all mounting
hardware and fasteners before every ride, and retighten to manufacturer specifications if necessary. Never exceed the load limits
of a front rack or carry passengers. Make sure your cargo and straps do not interfere with the function of your bicycle before
attempting to ride. Ensure even cargo distribution, and confirm lights and reflectors are not obstructed.
Note: this frame is compatible only with quick-release fenders. Do not use this frame with fenders that lack a quick-release feature that will
release the fender in case an object becomes lodged in your wheel or spokes.
