Rim brakes only:
when tting and removing, the brake
blocks can get twisted.
•
When tting the road wheels, please note
that the brake blocks are correctly positi-
oned (see Chapter 7.8).
•
If these are not correctly positioned, please
contact a specialist workshop.
For transportation you may remove and
later replace the road wheels on your bike
if these are tted with quick releases.
If your bike has rim brakes please be
careful that you do not change the po-
sition of the brake blocks with the tyre.
This could happen especially in the case
of large-volume tyres. If the tyre does
not pass easily between the brake caliper
blocks, let a sucient amount of air out
of them.
Then inate the tyres afterwards to the
correct pressure.
