OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Modern brakes have a very powerful braking
eect. Excessive pressure on the brake levers
can cause the respective wheel to lock and
can therefore cause you to fall.
Familiarise yourself slowly with the braking
eect on your bike in a safe area of land.
•
In a safe location, slowly test and become
accustomed to your bicycle’s braking
response
•
With new rim brakes and after replacing
brake blocks, the full braking eect only
develops after a certain run-in period. Please
therefore note that your braking distances
will initially be longer.
•
Disk brakes need to be initially run in.
Full braking eciency only develops after
the running-in process. Please note the
enclosed brake manufacturer‘s running-in
instructions.
•
If your bike is tted with optional click-in
pedals, which rmly connect the shoe with
the pedal, practise using them by mounting
and dismounting. Click-in pedals are not
safety pedals.
•
If after purchasing you remove the saddle
support and front and/or rear wheel for
transportation, please follow the appropria-
te instructions in Chapter 11.
1. Let your specialist dealer conrm you,
that your bike has been correctly assem-
bled and checked for readiness to ride.
You can make ne adjustments and minor
changes yourself as described in Chapter
8.2 and 8.3.
2. Let your specialist dealer set the correct
saddle position for you.
3. Do not use this bike until your specialist
dealer has familiarised you with the
technology of your bike.
4. Before riding your bike for the rst time,
please also read Chapter 8.
7 Before every trip
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
An unroadworthy bike can lead to dange-
rous riding situations, falling, accidents
and material damage
Also consider the possibility that your
bike may have fallen over when unatten-
ded or that someone might have tam-
pered with it.
•
Check that your bike is roadworthy before
every trip.
•
Memorise your bike‘s actual condition when
new so that you will later be able to recog-
nise deviations from the actual condition
(photos you take yourself can be
a valuable aid).
•
Contact your specialist dealer immediately
if you discover that the actual state of the
bicycle deviates from its specied condition.
•
Only ride your bicycle again if it has been
properly repaired by the specialist dealer.
The parts described in the next subchapters
are not built into all bicycles. Some parts
may also have been retrotted.
Determine the equipment of your bike with
the help of the information in chapter 4 and
the following pictures. Carry out the corres-
ponding inspections.
