List of the dierent wear parts:
· Elements of the brakes (pads, discs).
· Tires, inner tubes, rims.
· Cables and cable hoses.
· Elements of the transmission (chain, chain ring, cassette, derailleur tension-
er, chain guide).
· Grips.
· Bearings.
· Freehub body
Regularly check all wear parts, especially parts for the brakes and the transmis-
sion in order to not take risks. If you have any doubt about the level of wear on any
part, please check the manufacturer’s notice or check with your retailer. Preven-
tion is better than cure, so don’t wait till the last moment!
7.5. Maintenance of bike chains
Bike chains are wear parts. Bike chains with hub gears wear out after roughly
2000km, and after roughly 1000 km with derailleur gears.
WARNING
If the bike chain is worn, it can break and cause a crash. If your
bike chain is worn, have it replaced by your specialist cycle
shop before using the bike again.
7.6. Cleaning and Lubriication
The bike must be protected against environmental inluences such as dirt, per-
spiration and salt when using the bike during winter or in the sea air. The bike
should be cleaned with a wrung-out cloth. A small amount of mild detergent may
be added to the cleaning water. Finally, the bike should be protected with a small
amount of maintenance product.
WARNING
It is always important to ensure that all friction surfaces of the
brakes do not come into contact with any lubricants or other
maintenance products.
If the disc pads are polluted, it can strongly reduce the braking
performance.
If brake pads are polluted, they must be replaced immediately.
the down tube. Mechanical encoding is used to ensure the connections are not
confused. The cable and the drive battery are magnetic and will guide the cable
into the correct position.
Charging will start automatically. The current battery status will be shown on the
display during charging. The battery status display will lash to show that it is
charging. The charger will lash infrequently to show that charging is ongoing.
Once the green indicator light is continuously displayed the battery is fully
charged.
Keep the drive battery and the charger away from children.
The statutory requirements regarding handling, transport and
disposal of the drive battery should be observed.
7.3. Using Original Parts
It is strongly recommended to use the original parts for all components that are
critical for safety.
The use of parts that are non-compliant with your bike, as well as any modiication
to the frame or parts can cause risks for the user of the bike as well as a restriction
of the guarantee.
If you wish to change your cranks to increase their length, you should irst check
that they will not pass too close to the chain stays. Please also check that your
shoe will not touch the wheel or the mud guard when the cranks are in a horizon-
tal position and you turn the handlebar. This same check should also be carried
out if you increase the width of the front tire.
What’s more, if you increase the length of your cranks, you will decrease their dis-
tance from the ground, so you are at risk of touching the ground if pedaling when
cornering or on rough terrain, and therefore risk a fall. Ask your retailer for advice.
7.4. Maintenance
The following inspection and servicing measures can be regularly carried out by
the operator/rider. If in doubt follow the advice of a specialist in a bike shop.
· Tire pressure should be adjusted to the rider preferences, with a minimum of
1,5bar and a maximum pressure marked on the side of the tire.
· Wear and tear on the tires should be inspected
· The drive chain and the chain rings should be cleaned with appropriate
cleaning agents and lubricated (Use speciic bike lubricants only)
· The gear cables should be checked and, if required, corrected
· Wear and tear on the brake pads and brake discs should be inspected
· Pressure in the suspension elements should be checked
