CROSS-CHECK FRAMESET
Thanks for spending your hard-earned money on a Surly frameset. Seriously, we really appreciate it. You could’ve picked somethingelse but you didn’t, and that means a lot to us. We’ve put a lot of work into making a great riding bike that you’ll enjoy for a longtime. Before you read any further take a minute and write down this frame’s serial number. If you should ever experience a problem
with it, the serial number will help us get things sorted, and if your bike is ever stolen the serial number is undeniable proof that it’s
yours. So take a minute, flip the bike over, and write it down. Your frame’s individual serial number is located on the undersideof the bottom bracket (the part of the frame that houses the crank bearings).

SERIAL NUMBER:______________________________
Cross-Check is a cyclocross frame by category, but we try to design a lot of versatility into our stuff. You can ride it on the road oroff. It has lots of space for fat tires and for fenders. It’ll do as good a job getting you across the country as it does getting you acrosstown. If you get bored with how it’s built, change it. It can be a geared bike, a singlespeed or fixed gear. Big tires? Check. Skinny
tires? Check.
The Cross-Check has remained relatively unchanged since we first introduced it but changes were made when necessary or just aplain good idea, but honestly, this frame has stood the test of time. For instance, we added mid-blade eyelets to the fork for mounting
a front rack. This isn’t a touring bike per se, but it will handle lighter touring loads, and a front rack can make that easier. It has
also been given a new fork crown with threaded eyelets for adding…things. Need a place to mount a spare light? Got a mini rack thatneeds anchor points? You’re covered. The Cross-Check uses standard parts that are easy to find. You know the type; 1-1/8˝ (EC34)
headsets, 68mm English bottom brackets, canti-lever brakes. Durable, dependable stuff that won’t break the bank.
There’s a reason we still offer the Cross-Check after all these years. The frame is comfy and tough as nails. We continue to hear frompeople who have made the Cross-Check their default go-to bike simply because it performs so astonishingly well. It’s one of the best
riding, most versatile bikes around.
WARNING: Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep your frame clean. Dirt and road grime lead to oxidation and fading of the finish, and they make it hard to do a thorough inspection.
Dirt will accelerate any abrasion of the paint that comes from rubbing, such as places where the cable housing touches the frame. In extremecases, this type of abrasion could remove frame material. When your bicycle is not being ridden, store it where it will be protected from rain,snow, sun, etc. Rain or snow may cause the metal on your frame to corrode. We recommend applying J.P. Weigle’s Frame Saver to the insideof the tubes before the frame is assembled into a bike. If your bicycle was exposed to moisture during a ride, thoroughly dry the bicycle
before storing it. If water got inside the frame, tilt the bicycle to drain the water. If necessary, remove the seatpost and turn the bicycle
upside down. This is especially critical if there is a large amount of water inside. If water freezes inside your frame, the expansion of the ice
can crack and rupture the structure.
Before storing your bicycle for an extended period of time, clean and lubricate the frame with a frame wax, polish, or protectant. Do notstore the bicycle near electric motors, as ozone from motors destroys paint. Before riding the bicycle again, follow the pre-ride checklist
to be certain it is in good working order.
INSPECTION
Before every ride carefully inspect your frame for signs of fatigue. If any frame part shows signs of damage or fatigue, consult your dealeror replace the frame before riding the bicycle.
WARNING—An improperly modified frame, fork, or component can cause you to lose control and fall. NEVER MODIFY YOUR FRAMESET.
WARNING—Attaching incompatible clamping devices to a fork can lead to fork breakage, causing a loss of control. If you are not sureif a device is compatible, consult your dealer
