Ok so being someone that reads/watches the installation videos before fitting bike parts(obviously I'm not a real man) , Iv now become staggered as to how much of the manuals are filled on warnings. I understand the need for manufactures to cover them selves legally, but has it gone so far as to be ridiculous.
This is my example: on going to fit a rock shock reverb I was told one of the procedures performed incorrectly could kill me :o is this riding the bike while juggling chain saws? Not putting the saddle on? :o I'm afraid not its if you don't use friction past on the seat post, as obviously AE is full off patients each weekend from their seat post sliding down ever so slightly and causing serious injury or death :
some how I think this could be an overstatement it might at most make the person annoyed to have to keep adjusting there seat post.
My point being with this is theses sort of mad warnings mean we don't even bother reading the warnings anymore, making the ones we should take note of unknown to us. Or even worse ignore them all as being over drivel.
