|
49
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
In unpredictable trac situations and on
dicult terrain, it is often necessary to
"click out" with one or even both shoes.
•
Practise this with both feet alternately.
•
When pedalling, place your shoe centrally
on the pedal so that you don‘t click in.
If need be, you can then support yourself
with one or both legs on the ground.
With click-in pedals, the shoe and pedal
are rmly connected in a vertical direc-
tion. When pedalling, you can not only
push the pedal down but also pull it
upwards.
To be able to use a click-in pedal to the
full, you need shoes specially designed
for the pedal system concerned and to
which the pedal hooks supplied with the
pedal can be axed.
The following description is intended
purely as an example.
Please refer to the instructions for your
pedal/shoe combination provided by the
manufacturer and/or consult your speci-
alist dealer in order to ensure that your
click-in pedal system is correctly assem-
bled and you use it correctly.
8.9 Using click-in pedals (optional)
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Click-in pedals are not safety pedals.
If an excessive release force is set, it is
possible that you will not be able to get
your shoes out of the pedal quick enough
in an emergency situation.
If too soft a release force is set, the shoe
may possibly become disengaged from
the pedal unintentionally when you are
riding.
In either case, there is an increased dan-
ger of falling and injury.
•
Familiarise yourself with the click-in pedals
and how to use them.
•
Practise mounting onto and dismounting
from the pedals when not moving.
Sit on the saddle and hold onto a stable
object with one hand.
Click both shoes alternately in and out.
Please consult your dealer.
•
Familiarise yourself with the release on
careful practice rides.
•
Discover for yourself the optimum tightness
setting.
•
Practise mounting and dismounting at
various release settings.
•
You can nd details on how to adjust the
release setting in the accompanying parts
instructions and/or consult your dealer.

8.8.7 Dropout
Please ensure that the locking screw on
the fork ends dropout of the frame (MTB
+ ROAD + TOUR + URBAN) and the fork
(ROAD + TOUR + URBAN) is tightened
correctly. The screw is only used to x the
threaded insert in place when the wheel-
set is removed, and therefore only needs
to be fastened “hand-tight”.
