2. Performance Upgrades

CAUTION: Changing the components on your bike may void the

warranty. To avoid voiding your warranty, check with your dealer

before changing the components on your bike.

The most popular way to improve the performance of a bicycle is to
substitute higher priced drivetrain or brake components. Before attempt-
ing to upgrade your drivetrain or brakes, make sure that the components
you plan to install are fully compatible with the rest of the components
on your bike. Your dealer can help you determine component compatibil-
ity and resolve compatibility conflicts.
