Product Safety Notice
At Rydexion, your safety is our highest priority. Our "clean" performance gear is designed to be durable and reliable, but the safety of any ride depends on proper usage, installation, and maintenance. Please review these essential safety guidelines for your equipment.
1. Helmets and Head Protection
-
Proper Fit: Always ensure your aerodynamic helmet is adjusted to fit snugly and sits level on your head, not tilted back.
-
Impact Replacement: Helmets are designed to absorb energy through partial destruction; always replace your helmet immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible.
-
Certification: Our helmets are manufactured to meet or exceed rigorous safety standards for bicycle use.
2. Technical Apparel and Footwear
-
Cleat Security: Periodically check that the bolts on your 3-bolt road cleats are tightened to prevent accidental detachment while riding.
-
Visibility: While our performance jerseys and gear often feature high-contrast designs, we recommend using active lighting (front and rear lamps) for all dawn, dusk, or night rides.
-
Fitment: Ensure long-sleeve jerseys and cuffs do not interfere with your ability to operate brake levers or shifters.
3. Hardware and Accessories
-
Installation: Accessories such as TIG-welded aluminum racks and kickstands must be installed securely to the bicycle frame.
-
Weight Limits: Never exceed the maximum load capacity specified for heavy-duty rear racks, as overloading can affect bicycle handling and cause structural failure.
-
Fastener Check: Vibration from American roads and trails can loosen bolts over time; inspect all attachment points on cargo accessories before every ride.
4. Optical Safety
-
Secure Fit: Ensure your panoramic sunglasses or HD eyewear fit securely to prevent them from slipping and obstructing your vision during sudden movements.
-
Lens Care: Keep lenses clean to maintain maximum clarity; scratched or dirty lenses can significantly impair your ability to see road hazards.
5. General Riding Safety
-
Pre-Ride Inspection: Before every journey, perform a "safety check" on your tires, brakes, and any Rydexion equipment you have installed.
-
Local Laws: Always follow local traffic laws and regulations in your specific region of the United States.
