We sell a clear plastic fairing for your V ision bike. It mounts to any Vision 40, 50 or
60 series bike except the MediumWheelbase R40MWB.
The unit mounts to the front derailleur
tube. There is about a 10% - 15%
reduction in aerodynamic drag with the
fairing, but the real advantage of the
fairing is the weather protection it offers.
Riding in cold and wet weather is a joy in
comparison to an unfaired bike, making
this a must for year-r ound commuting.

than upright bicycles. Y ou still need to protect your most valuable body part. Modern

*The tires should be inflated to the pressure moulded on the sidewall,
and free of cuts or imperfections.
*The wheel and seat quick release skewers should be clamped shut with
at least 20 lbs (14kgf) of force, and a sharp blow to the top of the tire should not
knock the wheel loose. Study the wheel / seat skewer operation diagram - the skewer
handle has a curve in it that will face the tire when properly closed. Open the
skewer handle, tighten the skewer nut slightly, then close the skewer handle ( curve
facing toward the wheel). It should take 20-45 lbs of force to close the handle as
shown, and the skewer should emboss the metal of the wheel dropout.
*MAKE SURE THE SEAT AND WHEEL QR SKEWERS ARE TIGHT!!
