Only install baggage racks on bicy-
cles which are suitable for this kind of
equipment. Use only the intended xing
devices. If you own a frame or parts made of car-
bon, ask your specialist retailer for transportation
of luggage. Don`t x racks at the seat post! It is
not constructed for this use. An overload of the
seat post by a rack can result in a break of the
seat post and serious accidents.

Loose accessories
You always have to t the enclosed
accessories in line with the guide-
lines and instructions. You have to
ensure that screw connections are secured
with the correct torque (see page 26 “Torques
for screwed connections”).
• Only use add-on parts that comply with the
respective legal regulations and the road
trafc regulations.
• The use of unauthorised accessories
may lead to accidents or severe falls. You
should therefore only use original accesso-
ries and add-on parts which t your bicycle.
• Allow a specialist retailer to advise you.
Baggage changes the behaviour of
your bicycle. In particular, it increases
the braking distance. This can lead to
serious injuries. Please adjust your riding style
to this, i.e. brake earlier and anticipate more
sluggish steering. Only transport baggage on
racks intended for this purpose!
• Only mount child seats on baggage racks
if they have the corresponding holders
and the manufacturers permit this.
• Please ensure that nothing can get caught
in the spokes and turning wheels.
If you are riding with baggage, en-
sure that you do not exceed the max-
imum permissible weight of the bicy-
cle (see page C5). Information on the weight
capacity of the rack is stated on the rack.
Front racks are attached to the front
axle or the front fork. Front racks
have a strong impact on the bicycle‘s
behaviour! Please practice riding in a safe
area before riding with a loaded front rack for
the rst time!

Not all carbon frames and compo-
nents are compatible with each oth-
er! Read the specic manufacturer’s
instructions. Seek advice from your specialist
dealer.
Mudguards
Mudguards are xed correctly in place with spe-
cial braces. If the inside of the mudguard runs
parallel to the tire forming a ring shape, the brac-
es are perfectly positioned. During normal use,
the mudguard should not loosen. In the case that
an object becomes jammed between the mud-
guard and the tire, the mudguard is tted with
a safety fastening. This releases the mudguard
from its holder to prevent a fall.
When loading luggage racks, please
make sure not to cover front or rear
lights or reectors!
Avoid uneven loading of the luggage racks.
